“Otto Warmbier, the 21-year-old University of Virginia student who was imprisoned in North Korea early this year after allegedly drunkenly attempting to steal a sign from a hotel, was sentenced to 15 years hard labor on Wednesday.
According to the AP, Warmbier was tried before the country’s Supreme Court during a trial that lasted approximately one hour. He was found guilty of subversion under Article 60 of North Korea’s criminal code. The AP explains:
The court held that he had committed a crime “pursuant to the U.S. government’s hostile policy toward (the North), in a bid to impair the unity of its people after entering it as a tourist.”
