A military court in Myanmar has sentenced a journalist to 13 years in prison for working illegally for foreign media organisations. Ngwe Soe Lin, who reported for the Norway-based Democratic Voice of Burma, was convicted of violating immigration laws and the Electronics Act.<br/><br/>Soe Lin was arrested as he left an internet cafe in the Rangoon area of Kyaukmyaung in June 2009. After being interrogated for two months, he was sent to the city's notorious Insein prison, where his sentence was handed down on Wednesday.<br/><br/>His lawyer, Aung Thein, said there was no proof he had broken any law and would appeal against the conviction. Most foreign journalists are banned in Myanmar and the state censors all media.
