Call to free reporters jailed in North Korea
An international media rights group has renewed a call for the release of two American reporters held in North Korea for the past month, as the US State Department said diplomats were continuing work to win their release.
Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who work for former US vice president Al Gore’s Current TV, were arrested after they allegedly crossed the border from China on March 17 while reporting on North Korean refugees. If convicted of espionage, they could face at least five years in prison.
