Southeast Asia may never have been a paragon of the free press, but the democratic strides it made in the late 1980s and ’90s are rapidly unraveling. Targeted financial inquiries have forced #newspapers of record to close or compromise their independence. Journalists have been discredited by sophisticated social media campaigns. Defamation, sedition and other vaguely worded laws have been used to put #reporters behind bars, often alongside new legislation created to control cyberspace. The tools of one state’s repression seem to have influenced neighbors in the creation of their own. Last year, all 10 member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations landed in the bottom third of Reporters Without Borders’ annual World Press Freedom Index of 180 countries. Consider: Myanmar. When Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi was peacefully elected after six decades of dictatorship, many hoped her party would grant greater freedoms to the press. Instead, dozens of #journalists have been arrested and attacked. Freedom of expression activist group ATHAN has counted 36 journalists who have been charged during this current administration, most under a telecommunications law criminalizing online defamation. Several others reporting from conflict zones were charged under legacy laws including the Unlawful Association Act, which prohibits liaising with rebels. Two @reuters reporters who were investigating the killing of 10 Rohingya Muslims, discovered in a mass grave, have spent more than six months behind bars. Almost every week since their arrest, Wa Lone, 32, has stepped out of a police truck at a Yangon courthouse flashing his now-famous smile and two thumbs-up, despite his handcuffed wrists. He and his colleague, Kyaw Soe Oo, 28—seen here on Jan. 10 while being escorted by police after a court hearing in Yangon—could face up to 14 years in prison for violating a colonial-era Official Secrets Law. The pair were arrested in December in what may have been a sting operation: police invited them to dinner and allegedly handed them secret documents. They were held incommunicado for two weeks.
