US journalist held in Myanmar charged with terrorism and sedition
Fresh charges for Danny Fenster, arrested in May as part of crackdown by junta, carry maximum sentence of life in prison
Myanmar’s junta has charged a US journalist detained since May with sedition and terrorism, which carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
The military has squeezed the press since taking power in a February coup, arresting dozens of journalists critical of its crackdown on dissent that has killed more than 1,200 people, according to a local monitoring group.
