Myanmar junta deports American journalist Fenster after State pardon
Agency Report
United States journalist, Danny Fenster, was ‘pardoned’ before being deported from Myanmar where he had been sentenced to 11 years in jail and was to face further terror and sedition charges, the junta said Monday.
Fenster was pardoned before his release on ‘humanitarian grounds’ following negotiations with former US top diplomat Bill Richardson and two Japanese envoys, the junta’s information team said in a statement.
Photos released by the information team showed Fenster, flanked by two Myanmar military officials, signing a document in capital Naypyidaw, where he later boarded a flight to leave the country.
