American journalist working for Myanmar magazine detained
Associated PressBANGKOK — An American journalist working for a news magazine in Myanmar was detained Monday by the authorities there, his employers said. Frontier Myanmar, which publishes in both English and Burmese and also online, said on Twitter that Danny Fenster, its managing editor, was detained at Yangon International Airport as he was preparing to board a flight to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Fenster is the fourth foreign journalist to be detained, after Kamayut Media editor-in-chief and fellow U.S. citizen Nathan Maung, who is detained at Insein Prison, and freelancers Robert Bociaga of Poland and Yuki Kitazumi of Japan, who were expelled. ___ This story has been updated to correct the name of the Detroit news site where Fenster was an occasional contributor, and to show that he’s the fourth foreign to be journalist detained since February, not the third.
