Myanmar Reuters journalists' verdict delayed by judge's health

A court in Myanmar has delayed its ruling on two Reuters journalists accused of violating a state secrets act while investigating violence against Rohingyas.
An official said the verdict would now be given on 3 September, owing to the judge’s poor health.
Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were arrested last year while carrying official documents given to them by police.
The men, who deny all charges, face up to 14 years in jail if found guilty.
Both men have been in jail since December.
