American journalist Danny Fenster details what his days were like inside the Myanmar prison known for holding political prisoners.
When journalist Danny Fenster arrived at Myanmar's Yangon International Airport last May, he knew he faced the risk of being arrested.
So, he kept his plan of flying to Detroit to surprise his parents for their birthdays. After his wife, Juliana, dropped him off at the terminal, he continued communication with her to assure her all was well. First, he texted that he had made it through security. Surely if the junta were to arrest a journalist, he thought, it would happen there.
"As angry and as uncertain as everything is, there's no way I'm going to be here for very long," Fenster recalled thinking after the police arrested him."I knew a Japanese journalist had been kept for, I think, a couple weeks. I knew that a Polish journalist had been kept for less than that. I thought they wanted to get us out of there. I didn't think they wanted to hang onto us.
Fenster also figured out a way to sneak notes back to his wife. He told Stahl he wrote small notes and wrapped them around the drawstring of his pants. He tied the notes with a piece of dental floss, then shimmied the drawstring back into the waistband. He would wear the pants to his court appearances, where he would slowly retrieve the note from his waistband, then slip it into someone's hand to give to his wife.
