In Burma, U.S. journalist Danny Fenster has been released from prison just three days after he was sentenced to 11 years behind bars by a military court. The English-language news site he writes for, Frontier Myanmar, said Fenster has since left Burma. Former U.S. politician and ambassador to the U.N. Bill Richardson said he negotiated Fenster’s release with Burma’s military coup leader.
