“North Korean authorities have detained a U.S. student, accusing him of attempting to undermine the state, the secretive nation’s state-run Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Friday morning.
The man was identified by KCNA as University of Virginia student Warmbier Otto Frederick (likely Otto Frederick Warmbier, as the agency often lists English language surnames first, according to the Associated Press), and was said to have been “arrested while perpetrating a hostile act against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.”
The report said Warmbier had entered the country “under the guise” of tourism with the “purpose of breaking down the foundation of the single-minded unity of the Korean people,” and was operating “under the connivance” of the U.S. government.”
