North Korea sentences US man to 8 years hard labor
None
North Korea said on Wednesday it had sentenced a 30-year-old American man to eight years of hard labour for illegally entering the country, a decision that could further strain ties with Washington.
Last month, North Korea said it was putting on trial Aijalon Mahli Gomes, from Boston, who entered the reclusive communist state in January. "His guilt was confirmed according to the relevant articles of the criminal code of the DPRK (North Korea) at the trial," North Korea's KCNA news agency said. (Reuters)
