US Journalist Danny Fenster who was sentenced to 11 years in a Myanmar prison just 3 days ago, has been released from jail.
The military government says he was “pardoned” and was released on “humanitarian grounds”.
Fenster was first detained in May convicted of breaching immigration law, unlawful association and encouraging dissent against the military.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says “We are glad Danny will soon be reunited with his family, as we continue to call for the release of others who remain unjustly imprisoned.”
