Congressman Andy Levin (MI-09), member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Vice Chair of the Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific, Central Asia and Nonproliferation, released the following statement after his constituent, journalist Danny Fenster, was released from Insein Prison in Burma after nearly six months of unjust detainment:
"When Danny cleared Burmese airspace and we knew he was free, this was probably the happiest moment of my time in Congress. I'd like to thank Governor Bill Richardson; our incredible diplomats in Burma, Ambassador Tom Vajda; Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs Ambassador Roger Carstens and his small but mighty team; the State Department; and especially Danny's family: his parents Buddy and Rose, and his brother Bryan; his extended family who became an intelligence and communications whirlwind; and the uncountable people in Michigan and beyond who spoke to me and told the world every single day that Danny was innocent and must be released. At last, we are bringing Danny home!"
