Danny Fenster: Myanmar court gives US journalist 11 years jail
A Myanmar military court sentences US journalist Danny Fenster to 11 years in jail. …
The Biden administration has increased pressure on the regime, in particular through sanctions targeting high-profile military officers, and calling for a restoration of the elected government. It is hard to see the US softening its stance to get Fenster out. Perhaps the military is hoping for a gesture, a photo-op with a US official; friendless and isolated, the junta might consider that a worthwhile prize for releasing him.
