IWMF Condemns Korea Sentence of U.S. Journalists
Washington, DC -- The International Women’s Media Foundation vigorously condemns the conviction of American journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling to 12 years of hard labor by a North Korean court today.
“We fear that Lee and Ling are caught in a landscape of broader international circumstances that are unrelated to their roles as journalists and the stories they were pursuing when they were arrested,” said Liza Gross, interim executive director of the IWMF.
