YANGOON/WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters): A court in military-ruled Myanmar has jailed American journalist Danny Fenster for 11 years, his lawyer and his employer said, despite US calls for his release from what it said was unjust detention.
Fenster, 37, managing editor of online magazine Frontier Myanmar, was found guilty of incitement and violations of immigration and unlawful associations laws, his magazine said and described the sentences as "the harshest possible under the law".
