A US journalist detained in Myanmar since May appeared in a special court Thursday, his employers said, where he faces charges under a law that criminalises encouraging dissent against the military. "Frontier Myanmar's managing editor Danny Fenster today appeared in a special court in Yangon's Insein Prison to face a charge under section 505-A of the Penal Code, which carries a potential three-year prison term," the outlet said in a statement. bur-rma/leg
