Testimony by prosecution witnesses on Friday in the case of Danny Fenster, a U.S. journalist who has been detained in Myanmar for more than five months, established that official records did not accurately reflect where he was employed, his lawyer said.
An American journalist detained for months by Myanmar's junta has been denied bail and hit with a third criminal charge, his lawyer told AFP on Thursday, drawing condemnation from Washington.
Danny Fenster, managing editor of Frontier Myanmar, was held in May as he attempted to leave the country.
He is on trial for allegedly encouraging dissent against the military and unlawful association, and faces six years in jail if convicted on both counts.
