SEATTLE — A U.S. citizen detained in North Korea for 15 months has been returned to a labor camp, prompting worries about his health, his sister said Friday.
Kenneth Bae, who led tour groups in North Korea, was arrested in late 2012 and sentenced to 15 years hard labor for unspecified hostile acts. Calls for his release on humanitarian grounds have gone unanswered. After he lost 50 pounds, he was moved last summer to a hospital from a prison work camp where he had been farming vegetables.

Ping
If I were ever stupid enough to go into a regime, such as NorK, I’d probably choose to starve to death rather than put up with the conditions that the people live under.
Starving to death is usually the conditions they have to live under anyway. The labor/torture/death camps often bring the prisoners to the point of death, hospitalize them, and then repeat. We know that from the few who have escaped.
Bump
This person must be an idiot to take tour groups to NK....
How about tour groups to Mexico.
you would think that someone born in south korea would know to stay the hell out of the north.
He was filming starving orphans on NK city streets and turning the footage over to SK Christian groups.
Oooooooh, BAD GUY..!
What candidate did he last send a donation to?
I notice the North Korean symbol on the microphone at Bae’s meeting with reporters like very, very much like Obama’s favorite symbol.
May God bless and hold Mr. Bae in His loving arms and sustain him through this ordeal.
Would someone please shoot that pudgy little sh*t and get it over with?
Umm... Nothing..
tell Pyongyang to get in their bomb shelters if they won’t release the man; he’s an American citizen who was on his own humanitarian mission, not a spy, not a sabateur, not out to harm anyone
Pyongyang’s problem is that Mr Bae was dealing with the truth, their uncomfortable truth, that their governance is improverishing their people, that was his “crime”
Thanks rdl6989.
