So just let him break rocks for 15 years? The guy won’t survive, his loved ones will suffer. I wouldn’t care if he hurt someone, but it seems he wasn’t doing anything threatening. This man doesn’t deserve this.

Agreed, it’s a very bad situation for the guy unjustly imprisoned but continually appeasing North Korea’s bad behavior has been tried countless times and it hasn’t worked; only encouraged more of the same.
“So just let him break rocks for 15 years? ...This man doesn’t deserve this.”
That’s the tragedy, isn’t it? The man also knew what he was doing and what failure meant. He had to also understand that NK would turn him into a hostage.
