22 Jun British Woman Comes Forward about ‘Secret Floor’ of North Korean Hotel

North Korea is a deeply fascinating and rather distressing country. It seems absolutely insane that in the age we are in, we know so little about what goes on inside those borders. The country is extremely secretive, and we rely on those that have managed to get in to spread the word of what they saw in order to understand it.

The country has been in the spotlight over the last few weeks due to its handling of the young American traveller, Otto Warmbier. Wambier, who visited North Korea last year, was arrested for crimes against the state when he stole a propaganda sign from a wall in the hotel he was staying at. After being sentenced to 15 years imprisonment with hard labour in January 2016, Warmbier was surprisingly handed back to America around two weeks ago in a coma and sadly passed away a few days later. It has since emerged he had been in the coma since March 2016.

North Korea say that Otto entered the coma after contracting the life threatening illness botulism and also taking a sleeping pill, but U.S Officials and Otto’s family both dispute this claim, saying there is no evidence that Otto contracted the disease. It remains to be seen what will emerge for the tragic case, but many people, including a woman who went on the same expedition as Otto, are calling for the end of organised trips to North Korea as it puts lives in danger.
