North Korea detains US tourist over visa violation
Print Edition
NORTH Korea said yesterday it has detained an American tourist for committing an unspecified crime, the third US citizen being held there.
The Korean Central News Agency said authorities were investigating him for committing acts inconsistent with the purpose of a tourist visit. It did not give details.
American citizen Jeffrey Edward Fowle entered North Korea as a tourist on April 29 and “acted in violation of the law, contrary to the purpose of tourism during his stay”, KCNA reported.
Two other Americans are being held in North Korea.
A man was detained in April for alleged improper behavior while entering the country. He was identified as 24-year-old Miller Matthew Todd.
North Korea has also been holding Korean-American missionary Kenneth Bae since November 2012.
