Pyongyang Sentences US Citizen to 10 Years in Prison for Espionage
07:05 GMT 29.04.2016 (Updated: 10:55 GMT 06.08.2022) The North Korean authorities sentenced on Friday a 62-year old South Korea-born US citizen, Kim Dong-chul, to ten years in prison for espionage, the Xinhua news agency reported.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Kim was arrested in October 2015, when he had an SD card containing secret information on North Korea’s nuclear program.
11 January 2016, 19:27 GMT
At the end of March 2016, Kim confessed that he was carrying out espionage activities in order to overthrow the existing political system in this country.
North Korea has a long history of detaining foreigners.
In March, US student Otto Frederick Warmbier was jailed in North Korea for 15 years for trying to steal a political banner, an action that was classified by Pyongyang as a "hostile act" against the government.
