Nay Phone Latt is a blogger in Burma. In the September 2007 uprising, his blog provided valuable information about the things happening in Burma.
Recently he posted a cartoon of Military Leader Than Shwe and he was arrested among other things for that. His mother was not allowed to attend his trial and he was not allowed to be represented by the counsel of his choice (who was imprisoned for contempt of court).
Yesterday, the court sentenced him to 20 years imprisonment which includes 15 years for offences under the Electronics Act, two years for "creating public alarm" and three and a half years for offences under the Video Act.
