U.S. journalist Danny Fenster, who was facing a jail sentence of 11 years of hard labor in military-ruled Burma, was freed on Nov. 15 after being detained for nearly six months.

Fenster’s release came after negotiations between the country’s ruling military junta and former U.S. diplomat Bill Richardson, who was on a humanitarian visit to the Southeast Asian country, which is also known as Myanmar.
