Otto Warmbier was on a group tour of No. Korea in January 2016. He was pulled out of line at the airport as he was headed home. He was detained and accused of stealing a poster with Kim Jong’s name on it. He was beaten, tortured and forced to give a confession written in stilted English (he claimed to have been tasked to steal the poster by a church “deaconess” in exchange for money when in fact he was Jewish). He was put on trial & sentenced to 17 years hard labor. Since there are no diplomatic relations with NK, the State Dept. could not intervene. 17 months later, NK suddenly announced he was ill and would be returned to his family. His head was shaved & he was blind, deaf and incoherently screaming. Parts of his brain were missing w/o surgery, which is thought to be the result of waterboarding. He lapsed into a coma and his family removed him from life support, and he died in June 2017. No explanation was ever revealed as to why he was targeted.
