http://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-usa-student-idUSKCN0WI0BN A 21-year-old American student, Otto Warmbier, was sentenced to 15 years in a labor camp for trying to steal an item bearing a propaganda slogan from the hotel he was staying at in the North Korean capital. "The accused confessed to the serious offense against the DPRK he had committed, pursuant to the U.S. government's hostile policy toward it, in a bid to impair the unity of its people after entering it as a tourist," the state-controlled North Korean news agency reported. "North Korea's sentencing of Otto Warmbier to 15 years hard labor for a college-style prank is outrageous and shocking, and should not be permitted to stand," Phil Robertson, deputy director of the Asian division of Human Right Watch, wrote in an emailed statement.
Let the dummy rot. Anyone with basic reasoning skills would know not to visit such a horrible place. Our State Dept should have a travel ban on the place----but Obama is so in love with his fellow traveler Commies---that he allows our citizens to go there and become hostages.
Obama is so in love with his fellow traveler Commies---that he allows our citizens to go there and become hostages. There we go again - BLAME OBAMA!!!! Actually, had you read the article you would see that Warm BEER said he was induced to steal that sign by a fellow church parishioner. Had they practiced what is in their Bible they would know that the law is, thou shall not steal. Therefore, it is proof that GOD PUNISHES.
North Korea have various tourist programs for foreigners, mainly because they want people all over the world to actually see North Korea. I would go to North Korea, if I only have spare time. That guy who got sentenced for 15 years prison, if you look at the video, he didnt really look like he is really regretting. He was crying with dry eyes. It just didnt look convincing. He should learn it from North Korean defectors who are very good in fake tears. He actually planned this from the start. Think about how you will react if some foreigner steal American flag in white house or something like that just to mock US. I am pretty sure though, with some effort from US government, he will be forgiven, but the thing is things are going really bad with all these sanctions they have put on North Korea, and I am pretty sure people of the world wouldnt like some boss tell them who they deal with.
Otto Warmbier comes home in a coma... Family of Freed Student Adjusting to 'Different Reality' June 15, 2017 — The father of an American college student who was imprisoned in North Korea and was returned to his home state of Ohio in a coma says the family is “adjusting to a different reality.”
South Korea has a plan for lowering tensions regarding North Korea...the USA should butt out and let the Koreans solve their own problems..remember NK and SK are all Korean, and want to be one country as they should be...they would hae achieved that in 1950 if the USA and other powers had left them alone and let them get their country together...but the USA has to stick it's nose in all over the world to try and control nations which do not conform to the globalist agenda..
North Korea wants to annex South Korea and enslave the people like those in North Korea. The South Koreans want no part of the fat boy with the funny haircut and his tyranny.
Perhaps the "criminals from the USA" should give some hydrogen bombs to South Korea before withdrawing to America as spectators watching and cheering both "teams" of Koreans as they "kick" the hydrogen bombs to each other in a "nuclear soccer match" on the battlefield of the Korean Peninsula.
Yes, go to North Korea if you have the spare time to dance like a crazy horse for 15 years in prison. Worst of all, don't ever fall asleep when you "actually see North Korea" particularly Fatboy Kim, otherwise you will never have the chance to wake up again. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...aircraft-gun-for-falling-asleep-10246012.html
Baloney, many tourists go to North Korea and want to go back again....it is a very nice country....you've been brainwashed by the USA government and it's false propaganda machine the mainstream media...
It is a very nice country? Yes, it's a very nice country for the Kim regime and its lackeys. You can go to North Korea as a tourist to see how the common people suffer at the hands of the devil incarnate. You will be lucky at the end of your trip if you can fly safely straight out of North Korea without being pulled off the plane at the last minute like the unfortunate late Otto Warmbier. According to http://mengnews.joins.com/view.aspx?aId=3034951 "We all know that the North Korean regime is brutal beyond words. As the UN Commission of Inquiry has noted, this is the worst human rights abuser in the world. Warmbier’s case makes that fact more apparent. But what this student’s predicament truly highlights is the regime’s incompetence. However Warmbier got sick, the regime proved incapable of addressing the situation. When he lost consciousness, the North Koreans were unable to provide medical care for him.... Otto Warmbier will never again be able to indulge his curiosities to see the far reaches of the world. He will never be able to ask that question in class that might spark a professor’s thinking. But his case should be a cautionary tale for all others who consider travel to North Korea...." The following are excerpts from Mark Woods' 15 January 2015 article headlined "Why North Korea is the most dangerous place in the world to be a Christian" at https://www.christiantoday.com/arti...t.dangerous.place.to.be.a.christian/45845.htm (Begin excerpts) ...According to Amnesty International, "North Korea is in a category of its own when it comes to human rights violations. It is a totalitarian state where tens of thousands of people are enslaved and tortured. All forms of freedom of expression are repressed and anyone attempting to assert their rights is crushed. In North Korea, where failing to show sufficient reverence for the country's leaders is a serious offence, no one is safe from arrest and imprisonment." The control exercised by the state has ensured the subjection of its people in the face of appalling hardships. A famine from 1994-98 killed hundreds of thousands of people: accurate data is impossible to come by and some estimates are as high as 3,500,000 out of a population of 22 million, though recent research suggests the range may be between 500,000 and 600,000. A drought last year brought fresh suffering, with the United Nations estimating that around two-thirds of the population suffer chronic food shortages. In spite of recent economic growth, Generations of North Koreans have grown up malnourished, stunted and prone to diseases for which a healthcare system which is non-existent outside the main cities is unable to provide remedies. Punitive sanctions imposed by most of the world out of justifiable outrage at the excesses of the regime have failed to moderate the behaviour of its leaders and arguably contributed to the suffering of ordinary North Koreans, while they are circumvented by China, which is terrified of the instability that might result from the collapse of its armed and dangerous neighbour... Evangelism is absolutely prohibited and carried out at the risk of death or imprisonment in one of the country's fearsome labour camps. Last year it was reported in the South Korean press that 33 North Korean Christians faced execution after being charged with attempting to overthrow the regime – they had worked with South Korean Baptist missionary Kim Jung Wook and received money to set up 500 underground churches. While the story has been questioned, it is perfectly credible. And would-be Christian missionaries from outside the country such as Kenneth Bae and Jeffrey Fowle have found to their cost that North Korea does not tolerate religious interference. Amnesty quotes one former inmate, Kim Young, who spent nine years in one of the prison camps. "It is a place that would make your hair stand on end," she said. "From sunrise to sunset, you work. You get up at 3.30 to report for work at 4.30." She also recollects pregnancy tests, forced abortions and deliberately induced miscarriages: "Pregnant women get sent to labour camps to carry loads up and down the hills which causes miscarriages."... According to a former military captain. "Starvation is the biggest problem. I saw piles of bodies who have died from starvation in public places." Torture, executions – including the execution of children, especially after they have tried to run away – and sexual abuse are common. A former prison guard says: "After a night of 'servicing' the officials, the women had to die because the secret could not get out. This happens at most of the political prison camps. A peculiar refinement of the system is the "guilt by association" principle, in which several generations of a family in which one person has transgressed are executed or sent to labour camps as well – ensuring that every member of a family is made responsible for keeping the others in line. (Current president Kim Jong Un is reported to have ordered the execution both of his uncle and his uncle's family in a purge last year.) Around 100,000 people are thought to be held in these conditions.... (End excerpts)
You spread lies and gossip of the false media and sources you are following...time to do some independent research and learn the truth, or keep wallowing in your falsehoods and lies.
Please listen to the truth told by some Korean Chinese on "This Side of The Border" at http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/catch-up-tv/this-side-of-the-border However, I beg you not to use your "corner gas" to "corner" them after watching the video clip.
