Jailed American appears before reporters in NKorea - 0 Comments

PYONGYANG, North Korea — An American missionary who has been jailed in North Korea for more than a year appeared before reporters Monday and appealed to the U.S. government to do its best to secure his release.

The missionary, Kenneth Bae, made the comments at what he called a press conference held at his own request. He was under guard during the appearance. It is not unusual for prisoners in North Korea to say after their release that they spoke in similar situations under duress.

Welcome to our new commenting system

You may have noticed that comments look a little different on BostonHerald.com. We’ve switched to Disqus, a commenting system that we hope will give you more options to voice your thoughts and share your opinions with other readers.

 

You are still required to provide at least an email address to comment on our site, but now you can comment by connecting your Disqus, Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus accounts also. Comments not associated with a verified account will be held for review, so to keep the conversation flowing, you'll want to use one of the verified methods.

 

You can now respond directly to a specific comment by clicking “reply.” All conversations stemming from one comment will have their own thread, making discussions neater and more focused. You can also vote specific comments up or down, and share them more easily on your favorite social network. Clicking “newest” in the top left of the discussion panel also sorts comments by newest, oldest, or best-rated.

 

Disqus has a help section and knowledge base if you'd like to learn more.

 

Happy Commenting,

The Boston Herald staff
