Two editors facing charges under Myanmar’s Counter-Terrorism Law for interviews with the Arakan Army after the ethnic force was declared a terrorist group have gone into hiding to avoid arrest amid domestic and international appeals to drop their cases, RFA reported.

Thar Loon Zaung Htet, editor in chief of Khit Thit news agency, and Khine Myat Kyaw, editor in chief of Narinjara news agency, were charged last month under the Unlawful Association Act for publishing the interviews with AA’s spokesman Khine Thukha. They were detained and later released.

Another editor arrested on March 31 with the two men, Voice of Myanmar (VOM) editor-in-chief Nay Myo Lin, was released on April 9 after prosecutors said proceed with the case against him.
