Two U.S. journalists have been pardoned by North Korean leader Kim
Jong II in the aftermaths of negotiations with U.S. former President
Bill Clinton.
Media women were sentenced to twelve years of corrective labor for
illegally crossing the North Korean state border.
The decision on releasing the two journalists was made public soon
after a meeting that Kim Jong II had in Pyongyang with U.S. former
President Bill Clinton.
Laura Ling, a 32 year-old American of Chinese descent, and Euna Lee,
a 36-year-old ethnic Korean, both of them working for the American
cable channel Current TV, were detained by North Korean border guards
March 17.
In early June, they were sentenced to twelve years of corrective
labor for illegally crossing the North Korean state border and making
a video recording for the purposes of a slander campaign spearheaded
against the country.
