Yangon - A young female journalist who attempted to cover a protest by a group of Myanmar's Cyclone Nargis victims was sentenced to two years in prison Friday, legal sources confirmed.
Eine Khaing Oo, 21, was arrested on June 10 when she tried to cover a rare protest in front of the head office of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Yangon by a group of Nargis-victims from South Dagon Township, a new satellite town for the poor.
Tamwe Township Court found Eine Khaing Oo undermining national security.
She had worked as a junior reporter for Eco Vision magazine for two weeks prior to her detention, media sources said.
