During the first 6 months of this year, Pyongyang has managed to acquire more powerful argument for the most violent foreign trade. A second nuclear test, a series of missile launches and, finally, two American journalist Yong Lee and Laura Lin, captured in March and convicted of illegally crossing the border in June and sentenced to 12 years penal servitude. Directly on the day of conviction, the State Secretary, Hillary Clinton announced that America will not leave its citizens in distress.

Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State: «We urge the DPRK authorities to immediately release the two women and allow them to return home! We intend to achieve their liberation by all means. Appoint the Special Representative, who will be entrusted with the humanitarian mission ».

Now in Pyongyang, arrived her husband. According to some sources, namely the fate of two journalists will be the main topic of talks with the leadership of North Korea. Since early June the soil so that they become successful, cooked just the world...
