Statement on the release of Danny Fenster Frontier Myanmar’s Managing Editor Danny Fenster has been released from prison in Myanmar today and is on a flight out of the country. 1/5
“We are relieved that Danny is finally out of prison – somewhere he never should have been in the first place,” said Frontier Editor-in-Chief Thomas Kean. “The Frontier team would like to thank all who worked to secure Danny’s release over the past five-and-a-half months.” 2/5
“But we also recognise Danny is one of many journalists in Myanmar who have been unjustly arrested simply for doing their job since the February coup. We call on the military regime to release all of the journalists who remain behind bars in Myanmar.” 3/5
Danny was arrested on May 24 at Yangon International Airport shortly before he was due to board a flight to Malaysia. On November 12 he was convicted of three offences following a short trial and received prison sentences totalling 11 years. 4/5
The prosecution alleged that he was working for Myanmar Now, despite the fact he resigned in July 2020 and joined Frontier the following month. 5/5
Great news! Hopefully Sean Turnell’s release will follow soonest.
