Alarming Situation! US student Otto Warmbier given hard labour in North Korea

US pupil Otto Warmbier continues to be given 15 years hard labour in North Korea for offenses against the state. Warmbier, 21, was detained for attempting to steal a propaganda sign from a resort while visiting with North Korea in January. He afterwards appeared on state TV obviously admitting and saying a church group had requested him to bring back a “prize” from his excursion. North Korea occasionally uses the detention of foreigners as a way of applying pressure on its opponents. This may be because of the especially high tensions in the present time between the US as well as North Korea, he says. The Supreme Court handed down the verdict.
