Metro Detroit journalist Danny Fenster, who spent six months in a Myanmar prison last year, will appear on CBS's "60 Minutes" on Sunday night.
Since being released in November, he has spent time in Metro Detroit with his wife Juliana Bizarria, a Brazilian diplomat, visiting friends and family. They're now in Brazil, his wife's native country, and plan to return to the states in the spring. He's been exploring career options.
Fenster, 37, who was the managing editor of Frontier Myanmar, was arrested May 24 at the airport as he was about to depart to the U.S. to visit friends and family. He was one of many journalists imprisoned by the Myanmar military, which overthrew the government in February 2021.
Sunday's report by Lesley Stahl focuses on Americans unjustly imprisoned abroad, held by foreign governments that have a shaky relationship, or none at all, with the U.S. Stahl came to Metro Detroit to interview Fenster.
In late November, Fenster granted an exclusive interview with Deadline Detroit (second video below) from his parents home in Huntington Woods.
