North Korea detains American for bringing a Bible :rip:
Quote:
North Korea has detained an American tourist for acting “contrary to the purpose of tourism during his stay.” Jeffrey Edward Fowle — whose identity was confirmed by both his family’s attorney and North Korean media – had been in the country since April 29 and lives in Miamisburg, Ohio.
Though North Korea was vague about what exactly Fowle did, Japan’s Kyodo News Agency said he was detained for leaving behind a Bible in his hotel room. Fowle attends Urbancrest Baptist Church in Lebanon, Ohio, but his family attorney told the AP he was visiting the country merely as a tourist and was not on any sort of mission.
