Give us back the Americans they’re holding.
Via Daily Caller:
While the media focuses on North Korea’s Olympic “charm offensive,” one American is begging people to remember his father, a prisoner of the North Korean regime.
Western media is fascinated by North Korea, everything from the “sphinxlike smile” and “low-key beauty” of Kim Jong Un’s younger sister to the “amazing” army of North Korean cheerleaders, but the Kim regime’s gross human rights violations have taken a backseat in Olympic coverage.
North Korea is still holding three Americans captive.
Sol Kim, son of Tony Kim, has not seen or heard from his dad in nine months. “As you gather with your with your family and friends to watch the Olympics, will you remember my dad? My dad was arrested last April in North Korea, and we don’t know what has happened to him,” he said in a plea on Facebook.
Tony Kim, a professor at Pyongyang University of Science and Technology was detained for allegedly “committing criminal acts of hostility aimed at overturning the DPRK.” He had just wrapped up the semester when he was arrested at the airport. He has not yet been formally convicted as North Korea has not held a trial for Kim, but even if he does appear before a court, it will likely be a show trial rather than an actual display of justice.
