WASHINGTON - THE families of two jailed US reporters appealed to North Korea on Monday to 'show compassion' and said they were 'devastated' by the women's sentences to a labour camp.
In their first public remarks since North Korea announced the punishment, the families of reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee apologised on their behalf if they accidentally strayed into the hardline communist state.

The two families are 'shocked and devastated' by the sentences of 12 years in a labor camp, they said in a joint statement.

'We are very concerned about their mental state and well-being,' it said.

'We ask the government of North Korea to show compassion and grant Laura and Euna clemency and allow them to return home to their families,' it said.

'We remain hopeful that the governments of the United States and North Korea can come to an agreement that will result in the release of the girls.' The statement noted that Ling suffered from an ulcer and that Lee had a four-year-old daughter.

'Laura has a serious medical condition that is sure to be exacerbated by the drastic sentence,' the statement said.

Lee's daughter 'is displaying signs of anguish over the absence of her mother,' it said.

'We believe that the three months they have already spent under arrest with little communication with their families is long enough.' The two women, who worked for California-based Current TV, were detained on March 17 along the frontier with China while they were researching a story about refugees fleeing the North.

North Korea, which is in the midst of a standoff with the United States over its nuclear and missile programmes, said the two were convicted for illegal border crossing along with an unspecified 'grave crime they committed against the Korean nation.' -- AFP

These 2 journalists should be glad that they are not very pretty.

At first we thought they are victims of geopolitics, but as we came across the last stanza we instantly saw why what happened. They did something that the North Koreans do not really like, so they are captured and sentenced to labor camps.

This is just like the stupid South Korean Christian group last year or so that planned a trip to win new converts. In Afghanistan.

Occupational hazard, who-dares-wins or just unprecedented stupidity? You make the call.

BBC made one last year about the same topic, and won an award.
so CNN want to duplicate the sucess.
instead, now they do hard labour for 12 years.

is it for journalism or greed??

Yup, CNN is also the cause of their predicament, other than their own unwarranted "bravery" for higher salary, higher esteem among their peers, fame that extends to more than 15 minutes, etc.

Wall Street says "greed is good", and every job including journalism, exists for the money. Let us ignore the idiots who argue about the "virtues of a good journalist" on "honest, factual, unbiased reporting" when these are not really often practiced in their countries and these guiding lights would only go so far with you before your precious fragile rice bowl faces the drop.

Being a leader, he is super self serving , no wonder his country is fucked and the people live like slaves.

same description fits the thai king to a T

 

[scoobyhoo]

then the more torture they would received, like labour tortures, sexual tortures, rapes, pevert treatments, SM, would make their books more interesting and then fetch more money.

 

[motormafia]

If they did not get a special early release 100% they will DIE in few years inside the North Korean hard labor camps, the condition is worst than Soviet Gulags. 30 days in there is what it takes to finish an average American. Whatever $$$ they can wait for it in their next life.
:p
