An American journalist arrested in Myanmar has been sentenced to 11 years in prison by a military tribunal.
The verdict on Friday deals with three charges, including incitement to riot, as the convicted Danny Fenster's employer announced on Friday.
A few days ago, the judiciary in the crisis country brought charges against the 37-year-old on two other points - terrorism and riot.
According to his lawyer, he faces life imprisonment for this.
The military junta in Myanmar has been cracking down on all critical voices since the coup in early February.
Window, a senior editor of the English-language magazine Frontier Myanmar, who had been detained for five and a half months, was arrested at Yangon airport in late May just before his flight to the United States. Since then he has been in the Insein Prison, which is notorious for its torture methods. "Everyone at Frontier Myanmar is disappointed and frustrated with this decision," said Windows boss Thomas Kean. "We just want Danny to be released as soon as possible so he can fly home to his family."
The military in Myanmar couped on February 1 and overthrew the de facto Prime Minister Aung San Suu Kyi.
The 76-year-old is under house arrest and also has to answer for various alleged offenses in court.
The junta suppresses all resistance with brutal violence.
According to estimates by the prisoners' aid organization AAPP, more than 1200 people have already been killed.
About 10,000 others were arrested, including many journalists.
Others fled the country.
However, foreign media representatives have long been considered relatively safe.
