American journalist imprisoned in Burma accused of sedition and terrorism (lawyer)

An American journalist detained months ago by the Burma junta was charged with terrorism and sedition and could face life in prison, his lawyer told AFP on Wednesday.

Danny Fenster, who was arrested while trying to leave the Asian country in May, was charged with “two counts under section 50 (a) of the Anti-Terrorism Law and 124 (a) of the Penal Code,” said his lawyer Than Zaw Aung.
