Imprisoned Journalists



In North Korea, a Korean-American journalist was taken and imprisoned in North Korea, and were intimidated into confessing a crime in a prison with “no...human contact.”  Euna Lee served 140 days in a North Korean prison and was permitted almost no contact with other people.  When she was able to talk with a guard, she found out the guard “got in trouble” with the supervisors at the prison.  During her 140 day stay in North Korea, she gathered details about her day and schedule.  Upon release, she compared those details with those of Korean defectors and found that her “condition was much better” than those of the locals.  This insight is valuable in showing how terribly this regime treats its own people.
