Myanmar ex-information minister jailed for incitement, sedition

YANGON: Myanmar's former information minister was jailed on Wednesday (Nov 29) for sedition and incitement against the military, a security source told AFP, weeks after he was arrested for spreading "wrong information" on social media.

Ye Htut was handed a 10-year sentence under two laws criminalising incitement against the military and sedition following a trial in Yangon's Insein prison, a security source told AFP.
