Myanmar journos get bail in incitement case

Three Myanmar journalists accused of incitement were granted bail yesterday but must continue to fight the case involving a close confidant of civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi. In their article, published earlier this month by Eleven Media, they criticised the financial management of Yangon's government run by Phyo Min Thein, the chief minister for the city and a staunch Suu Kyi ally. Executive editors Kyaw Zaw Lin and Nayi Min and chief reporter Phyo Wai Win stand by the report, which raised questions about funding for the city's bus network.
