Myanmar’s Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the final appeal of two Reuters journalists who reported on the military crackdown on Rohingya Muslims in the country also known as Burma. The court upheld a seven-year prison sentence for Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, who, along with their colleagues, won a Pulitzer Prize earlier this month for their work. Authorities arrested Wa Lone, 32, and Kyaw Soe Oo, 28, in December 2017. They were sentenced last September over accusations of illegally possessing official documents. The journalists denied the charges and said they were framed.

ABUJA, Nigeria—As Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said an unofficial count indicated he won Saturday’s presidential contest against former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the opposition has already rejected the outcome of the vote, causing concern about unrest.

The failed return of Rohingya Muslims to Myanmar has led to international groups calling for improved conditions in the refugees’ home country.

Bangladesh on Thursday scrapped plans to help Rohingya Muslims return to Myanmar because none of the refugees wanted to go back. The Bangladesh government “can’t force them to go,” Refugee Commissioner Abul Kalam said, but it will continue to try to “motivate them so it happens.” At the Unchiprang refugee camp Thursday, the Rohingya responded to requests for them to board buses to Myanmar by gathering and chanting, “We won’t go!”
