NK confirms US citizen detention
Print Edition
NORTH Korea yesterday confirmed the detention of another American citizen for alleged acts of hostility aimed at overthrowing the country.
Kim Sang Dok, an accounting instructor at Pyongyang University of Science and Technology, was “intercepted” at Pyongyang International Airport on April 22, state news agency KCNA said.
The school’s chancellor Park Chan-mo and the Swedish Embassy in Pyongyang earlier gave information about Kim’s detention but couldn’t provide the reason for his arrest. Kim’s English name is Tony Kim.
He is the third American being detained in North Korea. The others are Otto Warmbier, serving 15 years for alleged anti-state acts, and Kim Dong Chul, serving a 10-year term for alleged espionage.
