Danny Benstad, an American journalist, was the editor-in-chief of an online newspaper in military-ruled Myanmar. The 37-year-old was arrested by the military last May.
Various allegations, such as spreading false information about Awa, inciting violence, being associated with illegal organizations, and visa fraud have been registered.
A Myanmar court has sentenced Danny Penster to 11 years in prison.
The imprisonment of American journalists has caused a great deal of controversy in Myanmar since the military seized power last February amid allegations that it was depriving the press of its freedom and unleashing violence on the media.
Former US Ambassador to Myanmar Bill Richardson has been in talks with the military over the release of journalist Danny Benster.
The Myanmar government agreed to release Danny Penster. Danny Penster was released from prison yesterday after serving 3 days in prison accordingly. He has also been granted permission by the Myanmar government to travel to the United States.
