Last January Phyoe Phyoe Aung and 100 other students protested against a new law that they said limited academic freedom in Myanmar.
As they marched towards Yangon, Myanmar's largest city, police blocked their passage and beat them with batons. Phyoe Phyoe Aung and many other students were arrested and charged with a range of questionable criminal offenses.
Phyoe Phyoe Aung now faces more than nine years in prison.
