U.S JOURNALIST GETS 11 YEARS JAIL IN MYANMAR

  • 12/11/2021

Danny Fenster, a US journalist, was sentenced to 11 years in prison by a Myanmar military court.

Fenster was found guilty of violating immigration law, engaging in illegal association, and inciting dissent against the military.

He was charged with sedition and terrorism earlier this week, both of which carry a maximum sentence of life in prison.

On November 16, his trial on the new charges will begin.

Fenster, 37, was detained at Yangon International Airport in May while working as the managing editor of the online publication Frontier Myanmar. He is one of dozens of local journalists detained since the February military coup.

Fenster previously worked for Myanmar Now, an independent news site that has been critical of the military since the coup.
