American student arrested in North Korea - Simon Waranch-3rd period

On January 2nd, A University College student was arrested in Pyongyang for committing a "hostile act" against the government. A china based tour company named, "Young Pioneer Tours" organized his trip. The North Korean media says that Otto Frederick Warmbier ( the student) entered North Korea to " the purpose of bringing down the foundation of its single-minded unity at the tacit connivance of the U.S. government" The U.S. and the tour group are working on getting his back


This is so scary that a college student can travel to a country and get arrested for, in reality just being American. I mean it is deffinetly dangerous to go to North Korea because of there "government" situation but still, This guy is now sitting in a North Korean jail instead of being in college. North Korea has does this before and arrested and captured Americans for no resin numerous times in the past. We as Americans need to get him released and all other U.S. citizens who have been captured by foreign countries for being American.
