(Bloomberg) Myanmar’s military junta detained an American journalist at the airport in the commercial capital Yangon, intensifying its crackdown on the media nearly four months after it seized power from the civilian government.
Danny Fenster, managing editor of the local media outlet Frontier Myanmar, was taken into custody at the airport Monday shortly before he was due to board a flight to Kuala Lumpur. He was sent to Insein Prison in the city, Frontier said in a statement.

Summary
Ethiopian authorities have been urged to release detained journalists and media workers in the country.
On Wednesday, authorities released a BBC reporter and several other media workers detained in the past few days by the military in the war-torn northern Tigray region, but the whereabouts of other journalists are still unknown.
The release of BBC’s Girmay Gebru followed pressure from global media watchdogs and press freedom right groups.
He was released without any charge, and no official reason has been given for his detention.
Girmay, a reporter with the BBC’s Tigrinya-language service, was arrested on Monday alongside four other people at a cafe in the regional capital, Mekelle. They were taken away by people in military uniform, witnesses said.
