Five members of the anti-government organization Generation Wave were sentenced to five years imprisonment today in Rangoon.
The Lanmadaw Township court found Aung Zay Phyo, Arkarbo, Thiha Win Tin, Wai Linn Phyo and Yan Naing Thu guilty of forming an illegal organizing under the Unlawful Association Act.
Hip-hop singer Zeyar Thaw was also named in the government's case, but sentenced one additional year, six in total, for possessing foreign currency without approval from authorities.
All are members of Generation Wave, which has been advocating for an uprising to topple the military junta in Burma.
