I shouldn't really be giving this warning, because, after all, if you're stupid enough to go there in the first place, then ya sort of deserve whatever happens!
North Korea’s Supreme Court convicted Otto Warmbier, a 21-year-old student at the University of Virginia, of subversion and sentenced him to 15 years of prison and hard labor.
Here’s a timeline of events that resulted in the conviction of the native of Wyoming, Ohio:
—December 29, 2015: Warmbier arrives in North Korea as part of a tour group.
—January 2: He is detained at Pyongyang airport while leaving the country, according to Young Pioneers, the tour company with which he was traveling.
—January 22: North Korea made his arrest public, saying Warmbier was detained for “anti-republic activities.”
—February 29: Warmbier was made by North Korean authorities to publicly confess to his alleged crime: stealing a propaganda sign from his hotel.
—March 16: Warmbier is convicted and sentenced to 15 years of prison and hard labor.
It’s unclear if Warmbier’s public confession was coerced. His hands were free and he wore civilian clothes as he read from a prepared statement on February 29. In it, he called his alleged actions “the worst mistake of my life,” and said he did it at the behest of a member of the Friendship United Methodist Church in his hometown that wanted it “as a trophy.”
