N Korea: American starts life at 'special prison'

None

An American citizen sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for what Pyongyang has described as hostile acts against the state started life Wednesday at a "special prison," state media said.

 

No other details were immediately available about the new development for Kenneth Bae, the American arrested in November who Pyongyang accuses of trying to establish an anti-Pyongyang base in the North. Two South Korean experts on North Korean law said they didn't know what a "special prison" was. (AP)
