WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. court on Monday ordered Pyongyang to pay $501 million in damages for the torture and death of U.S. college student Otto Warmbier, who died in 2017 shortly after being released from a North Korea prison.
Warmbier’s parents sued North Korea in April over their son’s death. The 22-year-old student died days after he was returned to the United States in a coma, and an Ohio coroner said the cause of death was lack of oxygen and blood to the brain.
====================================================
This young guy was caught removing a propaganda poster from a hotel corridor wall on surveillance CCTV & was sentenced to 15 years in prison. He spent 17 months there before being released in bad physical condition and died back in the U.S. shortly after his release. He had apparently been maltreated by the N. Koreans.
This judgement is going to be hard to collect because of current sanctions that affect banking transactions.
