Two Asian-American reporters who snuck into North Korea were sentenced to twelve years(?!) of prison for allegedly spying on them. Here are my thoughts…
1. What were they thinking to sneak into North Korea, aka. Not-just-communist-country-but-dictatorship country?!! Common sense would dictate that they should’ve stayed well out of the border area.
2. North Korea sentenced them to 12 years?!! WTH?! Year or two may be somewhat distantly understandable… but TWELVE?!!
3. Let’s not forget that North Korea isn’t exactly known for being “understanding”. 56 years of dictatorship and strict rule doesn’t exactly cry fair.
4. I seriously hope & pray that these two get released but with other serious issues (like North Korea’s long-distance missile testing and nuclear armament), this may get buried…
