The UN high commissioner for human rights says the trial of an American journalist in Myanmar has been unfair and harsh.
On Friday, a court in Yangon sentenced Danny Fenster, the managing editor of Frontier Myanmar to 11 years in prison.
He was found guilty of incitement and contacting opposition groups the military government had banned.
The UN is calling for the release of all journalists who have been jailed since the coup in February.
