Frustrating. Devastating. This didn't need to happen. Not to Danny, and not to the other prisoners whose names we are unlikely ever to hear in the U.S. media. #BringDannyHome #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Court docs show that my colleague, @DannyFenster, was arrested because the junta thought he works at Myanmar Now, despite him resigning last July. His arrest was based on false info, but regardless #JournalismIsNotACrime and he should be freed immediately. https://t.co/zDGmYKT3i5

“Fenster must be produced by Myanmar authorities immediately to verify that he has not been tortured, and the process of getting him back home must proceed without delay.” https://t.co/E2R1mTvZuZ

Thank you, @SFRCdems for drawing attention to this! #BringDannyHome

[Senate Foreign Relations Committee @SFRCdems]

Press freedom is a vital check on human rights abuses. The brutal crackdown on free press by Burma’s military junta is completely unacceptable and I join calls for the immediate and unconditional release of U.S. citizen and journalist Danny Fenster in Burma.   #BringDannyHome

[Emily Chasco @emilyechasco]

Thank you, @RepAndyLevin, for taking action for Danny!

[Rep. Andy Levin @RepAndyLevin]

Yesterday, I spoke with @StateDept, the Burmese ambassador to the U.S. and our ambassador to Burma. Danny Fenster’s immediate and unconditional release is a top priority. Thank you for your calls and emails. Please know I will not stop fighting until Danny is home.

[Bryan Fenster @bryanFenster]

There have been tears, but OUR resolve and fortitude is the direct result of your enduring strength and focus. We'll get through this. Danny will be home soon. I love you. We all love you. #BringDannyHome

Thank you for drawing attention to Danny's situation, @RepAndyLevin!

[Rep. Andy Levin @RepAndyLevin]

Danny Fenster has been arrested during an ongoing crackdown on the press by the military junta. All journalists being detained in Burma should be released immediately and unconditionally. Journalism is not a crime.

[Emily Chasco @emilyechasco]

@RepRashida @SenGaryPeters @RepAndyLevin @RepHaleyStevens What are you doing to secure Danny Fenster's release? #BringDannyHome #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar

I grew up with Danny; his family were neighbors. He is an amazing journalist, and has not been able to communicate with his family. Share, amplify, contact your reps, for a safe and quick release! #frontiermyanmar #bringdannyhome https://t.co/AUZvfxPSSN

[Emily Chasco @emilyechasco]

@SenGaryPeters Thank you, @SenGaryPeters for drawing attention to Danny's plight!

[Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters]

I am disturbed that Danny Fenster, a Metro Detroit native who is a journalist in Burma, was detained today in Yangon, Burma. My office is in touch with his family in Michigan, and we will continue to closely monitor the situation.

Ashamed I didn't realize how HARD it is to speak up when colleagues won't put in the effort to learn your name correctly (or nickname you without asking!) until I worked abroad myself. Don't wait to be corrected; don't be offended if you are. Ask, practice, show that respect!
