Asia VIDEO-N.Korea Releases US Prisoner



North Korea Cites President Obama Requests in Freeing American Prisoner

22 October 2014

SEOUL, Oct 22 (Reuters)




Jeffrey Fowle, 56, was released today


- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un released one of three Americans detained in the country taking into consideration "repeated requests" of U.S. President Barack Obama, Pyongyang's state KCNA news agency said on Wednesday.



Jeffrey Fowle, 56, was arrested in May for leaving a Bible at a sailor's club in the North Korean city of Chongjin, where he was travelling as a tourist.

"The criminal was handed over to the U.S. side according to a relevant legal procedure," KCNA said.

Fowle was unexpectedly freed and flown from Pyongyang on a U.S. government plane amid growing international pressure on North Korea over its human rights record. Washington said on Tuesday that Fowle was being flown home to his family in Ohio.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking in Berlin, said there had been no quid pro quo involved in Fowle's release and expressed hope that denuclearisation talks with Pyongyang, already under U.N. sanctions over its nuclear and rocket programmes, could start again soon.

"We hope that the dynamics can develop in the next weeks, months perhaps where we could get back to talks and the United States is absolutely prepared to do that," Kerry said.
Kerry said the U.S. was in contact with the families of the other two detained Americans, Kenneth Bae and Matthew Miller, and hoped they would also be released soon.

North Korea has been on a diplomatic campaign to counter charges by a U.N. body that highlighted widespread human rights abuses and a move by some U.N. members to refer the state to an international tribunal. (Reporting by Tony Munroe in Seoul and Michelle Martin in Berlin; Editing by Nick Macfie)

Detainee Talks About His Capture





MORE

(CNN) -- Jeffrey Fowle, an American arrested in North Korea in May for leaving a bible at a club for foreign sailors, has been released and is on his way home, a senior State Department official told CNN on Tuesday.
An American government plane picked up Fowle on Tuesday before flying to Guam, the official said.
North Korea announced Fowle's detention in June, saying he had violated the law by acting "contrary to the purpose of tourism."
Although North Korea contains a number of state-controlled churches, the totalitarian regime forbids independent religious activities, viewing them as potential threats to its authority.
CNN learned of Fowle's release earlier Tuesday but agreed not to report the news until he landed in Guam.




American's release a 'positive step'



White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed Fowle's release on Tuesday, saying the Defense Department had arranged his transportation out of the country at the North Korean government's request.
"We certainly welcome the decision," Earnest said, adding that the United States has no updates on the status of two other Americans imprisoned in North Korea -- Matthew Miller and Kenneth Bae -- and calling on North Korea to "immediately release them."

State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf echoed Earnest's call, saying the U.S. government "will continue to work actively on their cases."
She praised the "tireless efforts" of the Swedish embassy in Pyongyang, which houses the United States' representation within North Korea since the U.S. government doesn't have an embassy in the country.

Sen. Rob Portman said he's pleased Fowle "is returning home to his family and can close the chapter on a horrific ordeal in North Korea."
The Ohio Republican said he spoke with Fowle's wife and Robert King, the U.S. special envoy on North Korean human rights issues, after Fowle -- a Miamisburg, Ohio resident -- was detained. He said he worked with the State Department and "many other entities to bring him home."
"North Korea is a country with egregious human rights violations and it's important that the U.S. continue to stand for the rights of all people, including religious freedoms, at home and abroad," Portman said. "My prayers are with Mr. Fowle and his family as he makes the transition home."







U.S. detainees in North Korea


Last month, Fowle gave an interview to CNN pleading for U.S. help and speaking about conditions of his detention.
He spoke to CNN with Bae and Miller.

In the interview, Fowle said he has "no complaints" about his treatment.
"It's been very good so far, and I hope and pray that it continues, while I'm here two more days or two more decades," he said.

North Korean officials monitored and recorded the interviews and CNN was unable to assess independently the conditions under which the men were being held.

"It's a covert act and a violation of tourists' rules. I've admitted my guilt to the government and signed a statement to that effect and requested forgiveness from the people and the government of the DPRK," Fowle said.
Fowle said at the time he expected his trial to start within a month.
Bae, a Korean-American missionary, was sentenced to 15 years hard labor in 2013.

He told CNN he was working eight hours a day, six days a week at a labor camp, but was being treated "as humanely as possible."

Miller was accused of tearing up his tourist visa and seeking asylum upon entry. He told CNN his situation was "very urgent" and would soon be sent to trial and "directly be sent to prison."

All three implored the U.S. government to send an envoy to North Korea to help get them out of their situations, similar to how former President Bill Clinton helped secure the release of two journalists in 2009.
However it did not appear such an envoy was sent to negotiate Fowle's release.

The senior State Department official said the U.S. was still working to secure the release of Bae and Miller.
