Well North Korea Just Bowed Down To Another Trump Demand – This Is YUGE!
When Americans are detained and imprisoned within the boundaries of North Korea, they
can expect exceedingly harsh conditions with tiny prison cells, very little food or water,
and even less daylight.
Their stories follow an eerily similar pattern with a forced confession, a mock trial where
they are then sentenced to years of hard labor with little chance of appeal.
Routine beatings and even torture are expected.
"It was a 5-by-6-foot cell, and there were a couple of slats on the doors," Laura Ling,
a journalist detained in 2009.
The experiences of other Americans who have been detained and eventually released by North
Korea, often with the help of prominent American politicians, crack open the door on the secretive
regime's network of prison camps and the deprivation found there.
The release of Otto F. Warmbier on June 13, 2017, and his subsequent d***h shortly after
his return home left the families of three other American citizens known to be imprisoned
by the North Koreans' dictatorial regime highly disturbed and fearing the worst.
Warmbier was an American college student who was arrested and held a prisoner in North
Korea, died just days after being returned to his family in the US while in a coma.National
Security Adviser John R. Bolton had called for the release of the detainees, and Secretary
of State Mike Pompeo reportedly raised the issue during secret face-to-face talks with
Mr. Kim last month in Pyongyang.Kim Hak-song and Kim Sang Duk worked at the Pyongyang University
of Science and Technology.
Kim Dong Chul is the president of a company involved in international trade and hotel
services.
He was sentenced to 10 years on espionage charges.
Now those families are resting easier as North Korea has chosen to free the three U.S. citizens
detained under Kim Jong Un's tyranny in the communist country, again choosing to bow
to yet another demand made from President Donald Trump just ahead of their upcoming
planned meeting.
The former Navy SEAL who took out Osama bin Laden, Robert O'Neill, tweeted about it,
as did others.The New York Post reports –
"North Korea has released three US citizens who had been held prisoner by the communist
dictatorship, the South Korean news agency Yonhap reported, citing a South Korean activist
who lobbies for the release of detainees.
The releases — which have not been confirmed by the State Department — would meet one
of the Trump administration's conditions before President Trump would meet with North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un."
According to the Financial Times –
"The three Korean-American detainees — Kim Dong-cheol, Kim Sang-deok and Kim Hak-seong
— were released from the labour correction centre in early April and are getting health
treatment and ideological education at a hotel near Pyongyang, according to Choi Sung-ryong,
the country's most vocal campaigner for South Korean abductees held in North Korea.
"We heard it through our sources in North Korea late last month.
We believe that Mr. Trump can take them back on the day of the US-North Korea summit or
he can send an envoy to take them back to the US before the summit," said Mr. Choi.The
news came after John Bolton, Mr. Trump's newly appointed national security adviser,
told Fox News on Sunday: "If North Korea releases the detained Americans before the
North-US summit, it will be an opportunity to demonstrate their authenticity."
Mike Pompeo, US secretary of state, is believed to have discussed the issue in his secret
meeting in Pyongyang with the North Korean dictator over the Easter weekend."
Though out of the brutal labor camp, the men remain in the grasp of Mr. Kim's regime
and not at risk of being returned.
They currently are believed to be convalescing in a hotel outside Pyongyang.
"We believe that Mr. Trump can take them back on the day of the U.S.-North Korea summit,
or he can send an envoy to take them back to the U.S. before the summit," said Choi
Sung-ryong, an activist pursuing release of North Korea's political prisoners.
The release of the three Americans marked another significant victory for the Trump
administration, which also won North Korea's agreement to discuss giving up its nuclear
weapon program as a prerequisite for the talks.
According to WPXI –
With the date of a summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un still to be determined,
President Donald Trump continued this weekend to press the case that major changes are on
the horizon on the Korean Peninsula, as Mr. Trump spoke with both the South Korean and
Japanese leaders about progress on a deal with the Pyongyang regime to rein in its nuclear
weapons program.
"Things are going very well, time and location of meeting with North Korea is being set,"
Mr. Trump tweeted.
On Monday morning, Mr. Trump tweeted that a meeting with Kim Jong Un could take place
in the Demilitarized zone along the border between North and South Korea.The meeting
last week of the leaders of North and South Korea was evidence alone of the dramatic shift
in the situation – it was not so long ago that Mr. Trump was deriding the North Korean
leader on Twitter as "Rocket Man," amid threats from Kim that North Korea might attack
Guam or the U.S. mainland with nuclear missiles.
In Congress, some Republicans have said that Mr. Trump's tough line on Pyongyang – "maximum
pressure" as it is known – has been responsible for the change in tune by the Communist North."Donald
Trump convinced North Korea and China he was serious about bringing about change," said
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
"We're not there yet, but if this happens, President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize,"
Graham said.
Last week, the President did not deny that he has been in personal contact with Kim Jong
Un, as Mr. Trump shrugged off a question at a news conference with the German Chancellor.
"Have you spoken with Kim Jong Un himself?"
a reporter asked.
"I don't want to comment on that," the President said.
