Two Reuters journalists were sentenced to seven years in prison by a Myanmar judge on Monday.

Wa Lone, 32, and Kyaw Soe Oo, 28, have been jailed since December. They were convicted of violating the Official Secrets Act when they obtained confidential documents while reporting about the persecutions of Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine, Reuters reported. The reporters said they were given the documents by two police officers at a restaurant in Yangon right before other officers arrested them, according to Reuters.

But Lone and Oo are only two of hundreds of journalists imprisoned around the world.
