Burma's citizens still jailed for speaking their minds #breakingnews #breaking #worldhealines

In Burma, de facto leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has just celebrated her first year in power. Her NLD party has to govern with the army and the democratic transition is not running entirely smoothly. One particular worry is freedom of speech.

Our regional correspondents met some of them.
