10 years of hard prison labor for journalists is a draconian sentence of the type that dictatorships and other authoritarian use when cracking down on government critics. It is a large step backward of the Thein Sein government.

If the factory was not producing anything sensitive, than how can this be a question of state security? And 10 years for misrepresenting oneself is a bit harsh. Of course this is politically motivated, and Ye Htut knows that.
