he Myanmar Times, the country's oldest English-language daily, stopped covering the situation of Rohingyas after one of its senior staff was fired over an article citing multiple gang rapes of Rohingya women by soldiers.
Sources inside the newspaper said that one editor has already resigned in protest and several other staff members were considering leaving.
"The paper withstood the pre-publication censorship of the junta era," AFP quoted an unnamed source as saying, adding, “There are major concerns about backsliding in the commendable gains made on press freedom in recent years." (Courtesy of presstv.com)
