25 Buddhists sentenced in deadly Myanmar riot

In this May 24, 2013 photo, a pile of burned car tires and human bones from the Meikhtila massacre rest in foreground as the local cemetery caretaker, Khin Mar Cho stands nearby. Twenty-five Buddhists were sentenced to as many as 15 years in prison for murder and other crimes during a night of rioting, burning and killing in central Myanmar, following weeks in which it seemed only Muslims were being punished for sectarian violence that was aimed primarily at members of their own religion. But the sentences issued Wednesday and Thursday, July 11. 2013, did not erase a sense of unequal justice: A day earlier, a Muslim received a life sentence for murdering one of the 43 people killed March 20 and 21 in the central Myanmar town of Meikhtila.
