Journalism is a dangerous career in Myanmar. When Cyclone Mocha hit in May 2023, photojournalist Sai Zaw Thaike travelled to Rakhine State to report on the aftermath.

Sai Zaw was arrested, and in September 2023 sentenced by a military tribunal to 20 years in prison. He has endured beatings by prison staff and periods of solitary confinement.

Demand that Myanmar’s military immediately release Sai Zaw Thaike.
