U.S. Journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee Sentenced To 12 Years Labor Camp

Laura Ling and fellow journalist Euna Lee have received a lengthy 12 year labor camp sentence after they were detained for “illegal entry” into North Korea from China and for “hostile acts.” The U.S. journalists were working on a documentary at the time of their capture.

Laura Ling is the sister of the renowned journalist Lisa Ling who is known for putting herself in dangerous situations to get rare in depth news stories. Lisa Ling brought the North Korean capture of her sister into the public eye in the hope that it would free her sister.

Euna Lee and Laura Ling both work for Current TV, a media company led by Al Gore. Check out this CNN news clip for the latest updates on Ling and Lee’s harsh sentence:
