In a rare case of Myanmar's military punishing its own, three soldiers were sentenced this month to 20 years in prison for rape. Kyaw Min Htun explains how RFA Burmese reported on that crime in the face of initial denials by the military. And Eugene Whong discusses an exclusive report about a North Korea fisherman who was executed for tuning into RFA news broadcasts. The podcast hosts are RFA's Mat Pennington and Paul Eckert.
