Why are we not hearing more about US citizen Kenneth Bae, who was detained in North Korea in November and sentenced in April for “hostile acts to bring down its government”?
Kenneth Bae, the American citizen sentenced to 15 years in a North Korean labor camp, has been moved to a hospital after a serious deterioration in his health, his sister said.
Where is the outrage?!!
Detention in North Korea has taken a heavy toll on Bae, who had already been dealing with other health problems, including diabetes.
The eight hours per day of farm labor, which Bae had never done before, appear to have worsened his symptoms, she said, adding that “he’s also under a tremendous amount of stress.”
U.S. officials have repeatedly called on North Korea to release Bae, whose sentence was announced toward the end of a period of heightened tensions between the two countries. The State Department called for Bae’s release again in a news conference Monday.
Bae is the owner of a tour company and was in North Korea for work.
Why do we send our former President to North Korea for one person but not another?
