But when it finally hits theatres this Friday,Austin PowersU.S. soldier detained in North Korea could be released quickly – but not everyone is so lucky
Private Travis T. King crossed the demilitarized zone into North Korea earlier this week, breaking away from a civilian tour group. He was reportedly facing disciplinary action, following a stint in detention in South Korea, Korea, and had been due to board a flight home before joining the tour group.
Chad O’Carroll, the Seoul-based founder of analysis service NK Pro, said that North Korea would likely release King “in relatively short order – though a lack of clear precedent means it’s still difficult to predict Pyongyang’s next steps.” Other foreigners have not been so lucky. In late 2015, Otto Warmbier, a University of Virginia student visiting North Korea as a tourist, was accused of trying to steal a propaganda poster and later sentenced to 15 years of hard labour. He was held for 17 months before suffering a medical emergency under uncertain circumstances. He was returned to the U.S. in a comatose state and died soon after his arrival.
