Fed. Judge Rules North Korea Owes Otto Warmbier’s Family More Than $500 Million For Death, Alleged Torture

DC: A federal judge ruled Monday that North Korea owed Otto Warmbier’s family over $500 million in damages for his death last year.

Warmbier was a University of Virginia student who allegedly stole a propaganda poster while in North Korea back in January 2016. He was convicted and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor by the state for the alleged crime in March of that year. Warmbier was released with the help of U.S. President Donald Trump in June 2017, but Warmbier, 22, died a week after his return.

Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued the ruling, citing North Korea’s “torture, hostage-taking, and extrajudicial killing” of Warmbier.  more here
