N. Korea sentences two U.S. reporters to 12 years in labor camp
SEOUL, June 8 (Yonhap) -- North Korea said Monday that two U.S. journalists detained at the border with China in March were sentenced to 12 years in labor camps for illegally entering the country.
The Central Court, North Korea's top court in Pyongyang, "staged a trial of American journalists Laura Ling and Seung-eun Lee from June 4 to 8," the Korean Central News Agency said.
"The trial confirmed the grave crime they committed against the Korean nation and their illegal border crossing as they had already been indicted and sentenced each of them to 12 years of reform through labor," the report said.
