RFA welcomes release of Myanmar RFA contributor Shin Daewe
The news of Shin Daewe’s release from detention comes as a welcome relief.
WASHINGTON - Radio Free Asia (RFA) President and CEO Bay Fang issued the following statement in response to the news that RFA contributor and award-winning journalist Shin Daewe, who has been jailed in Myanmar since October 2023 and recently sentenced to 15 years in prison, was released from prison under an amnesty:
“The news of Shin Daewe’s release from detention comes as a welcome relief. Shin Daewe suffered enormously and unfairly for her work to bring uncensored journalism to people in Myanmar. This development is a testament to efforts by many, including RSF and PEN America, to secure her release. I am heartened to learn Shin is back at her home, reunited with her family and loved ones.”
