Myanmar security forces punched, slapped and beat a U.S. journalist and kept him blindfolded for more than a week of interrogation, he said after being deported to the United States following over three months in detention. Nathan Maung, 44, editor-in-chief of the online news platform Kamayut Media, was detained on March 9 in a raid and freed on June 15. He said his colleague Hanthar Nyein, who remains in detention, had been tortured more harshly, as had other people he met in prison. A junta spokesman did not respond to a request for comment on the account by Nathan Maung, which echoes those of some ofthe thousands of others who have been detained since the army overthrew elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Feb. 1.
