The 32-year-old Wa Lone, one of two Reuter’s reporters arrested last December for investigating government violence against Rohingya Muslims, has written an illustrated book for children in prison called Jay Jay the Journalist.
Wednesday marks one year since Wa Lone, along with his colleague Kyaw Soe Oo, was arrested while investigating the killing of 10 Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.
The book has been recently published in Myanmar. The main character of the book Jay Jay is a young schoolboy who did outstanding reporting about environmental risks and published in the school newspaper.
Besides the book, Wa Lone spends much of time inside the prison to teach English to his fellow prisoners.
