Controversial editor Kyaw Min Swe fears that the newly formed press council will not necessarily protect journalists and censorship will continue, in the form of legal threats.
"They changed the system of PSB [Press Scrutiny Board] pre-censor to post-censor so that we have to submit after publication. So that’s not totally free press. We cannot say totally free press," he said.
Kyaw Min Swe has been sued by the government before for exposing a graft scandal. Despite the relaxed censorship laws, he still could face prosecution for reporting on government corruption or sensitive topics that could incite violence.
