Myanmar opposition leaders get long jail terms: relatives

YANGON (AFP) – One of Myanmar's most prominent activists was sentenced to 65 years in jail along with two other pro-democracy leaders in connection with the 2007 anti-junta protests, family members said Saturday.

Junta disperses dissidents

YANGON - MYANMAR'S junta has sent dozens of political prisoners recently sentenced to up to 65 years in jail to far-flung corners of its gulag, making it hard for family members to deliver food and medicine, relatives said on Monday. Without the informal delivery of supplies such as malaria and vitamin pills, detainees face a far greater risk of dying behind bars, say former political prisoners who have fled to Thailand. http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/SE%2BAsia/Story/ STIStory_303694.html
