Prominent friends of an Australian economist detained in Myanmar say the man has devoted his life to helping the developing country and should be immediately released by police.
Sean Turnell, an associate professor at Sydneyâs Macquarie University and economic adviser to deposed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, was detained following the military coup last Monday that has led to mass protests and a near-total internet blackout in the country.
