Not news, per se, but One Free Korea has a nice article reminding us of the American who crossed over into the DPRK in January of this year, one month after Robert Park, who was released a few months ago. Gomes is still held in North Korea, charged with 8 years in a labour camp for illegal entry into the country and unspecified crimes against the state. Few American officials have done much to secure his release. A few weeks ago, the North reported Gomes tried to commit suicide but failed. Few can imagine the atrocities Gomes must be enduring in his imprisonment.
