This is surely NOT good news.
North Korea’s top court convicted American journalists Laura Ling & Euna Lee and sentenced them to 12 years in a prison Monday, intensifying the reclusive nation’s confrontation with the United States.
The sentencing came amid soaring tensions fueled by the North’s latest nuclear and missile tests.
Laura Ling is the sister of Journalist & former “The View” co-host Lisa Ling.
Euna Lee is a wife and mother of one small daughter.
N. Korea is clearly using these young ladies as pawns. Our prayers go out to them and their families.
Many believe Pyongyang is using the journalists as bargaining chips as the U.N. debates a new resolution to punish the unpredictable country for its latest military threats.
