The policeman, Moe Yan Naing, criticized the law under which he was punished. “This law can cause police much suffering because it is outdated,” he told reporters outside Insein prison, on the outskirts of the commercial capital, Yangon. Shortly after his court appearance in April, Moe Yan Naing was sentenced to prison for violating the Police Disciplinary Act by having previously spoken to Wa Lone. At the time, police spokesman Colonel Myo Thu Soe told Reuters Moe Yan Naing had been punished “according to the police disciplinary act”. Police said the eviction order was not related to Moe Yan Naing’s testimony at the reporters’ trial.
