>> Kim: NEW DATA FROM THE CDC
ABOUT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE
VACCINE ON ADOLESCENTS.
>>> AND THE COUNTRY IS RELEASING
THOUSANDS OF OTHER POLITICAL
PRISONERS, BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN
FOR DANNY FENSTER.
IT’S TOUGH TO IMAGINE THE ROLLER
COASTER OF EMOTIONS THAT HIS
FAMILY MEMBERS ARE ON RIGHT NOW.
>> Devin: PEOPLE DETAINED IN
MYANMAR, THE SAME PRISON AS
DANNY, ARE REPORTEDLY BEING LET
GO, BUT SO FAR ONLY AN EERIE
SILENCE WHEN’S IT COMES TO
DANNY’S CASE.
WE SPOKE TO HIS BROTHER ABOUT
HOW THE FAMILY IS COPING.
>> Priya: THEY’VE BEEN
SUPPORTING THE FAMILY SINCE DAY
ONE.
WE’RE AT CITY HALL, ACROSS THE
STREET, SIGNS IN SUPPORT HOPING
DANNY WILL SOON BE RELEASED.
>> AS THE SUN RISES, SO DO WE.
AND THANKFULLY OUR COMMUNITY HAS
AS WELL AND THEY’RE HELPING US
GET THROUGH.
>> Priya: A SLIVER OF OPTIMISM
THAT A BUDDHIST HOLIDAY MIGHT
LEAD OF LEAD TO AMNESTY FOR
DANNY WHO HAS BEEN DETAINED IN
MYANMAR FOR 5 MONTHS.
>> THEY’RE HAVING A HOLIDAY AND
THERE ARE AMNESTIES HAPPENING
AND WE HOLD THEY WOULD RELEASE
HIM AND SEND HIM HOME.
>> Priya: THERE HAVE BEEN
CONFLICTING REPORTS HOW MANY
WOULD BE RELEASED AND IF HE
WOULD BE ELIGIBLE.
>> WE HAVEN’T HEARD FROM THE
STATE DEPARTMENT AND NO
INDICATIONS THAT DANNY WOULD BE
INCLUDED IN THAT.
THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL
AMNESTIES AND OBVIOUSLY HE HAS
NOT BEEN LET OUT YET.
>> Priya: IT WAS ONLY THE SECOND
TIME IN COURT SINCE LOCKDOWNS
ENDED IN MYANMAR.
>> HE KEEPS GOING TO COURT AND
KEEPS GETTING SENT BACK, SO HE
IS FLOATING IN A BLACK HOLE.
>> Priya: THE FAMILY SPOKE TO
HIM FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES THIS
PAST WEEKEND.
>> WE PULL OUR BOOTS UP AND BE
THERE FOR HIM.
BUT IT’S EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY
HARD.
>> Priya: THEY’RE RELYING ON
COMMUNITY SUPPORT AS THE LEGAL
NIGHTMARE CONTINUES HALFWAY
AROUND THE WORLD.
>> WE’RE APPRECIATIVE OF THE
CONTINUED INTEREST.
AND WHILE WE’RE BATTERED, WE’RE
NOT DOWN AND OUT.
>> Priya: AND THIS BUDDHIST
HOLIDAY THAT MAY LEAD TO AMNESTY
TO THOUSANDS OF PRISONERS, THE
FAMILY IS STILL HOLDING OUT
HOPE.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT
THEM, WE HAVE INFO AT
