Kenneth Bae, US Christian Jailed in North Korea, Pleads for Freedom in New Video


American Christian missionary Kenneth Bae, currently serving 15 years in North Korean for allegedly plotting to overthrow the government, has appeared in a new video speaking of health difficulties and calling on the U.S. to help secure his freedom.
Bae, otherwise known as Pae Jun Ho, was prosecuted in April for hostile acts against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) and began serving his sentence at a forced labor camp in May. He was initially arrested on Nov. 3, 2012, while leading a tour in North Korea's Rason City. It was revealed that in addition to visiting orphans during his visits to the oppressive communist country through his tour company, Bae apparently took part in evangelism activities. He shared during a 2009 sermon at a U.S. church that he hoped through prayer and worship to bring down North Korea's walls, in a project he called "Operation Jericho." The charges were detailed online by the state-led Korean Central News Agency.

What is the big deal here? Every jailed convict wants to be free. That is human nature. Just go to any prison and confirm this yourself?

Is he somehow special because he is a Christian?
He willfully violated the laws of another country,knowing the consequences of such an act, so why shouldn't he be prepared to serve the penalties.
He should consider himself a martyr, someone who is willing to die for his religious convictions.

Asking for US intervention is silly and cowardly.

The US, on the other hand, are holding hundreds of muslims in indefinite detention at Gitmo for violating or conspiring to violate US laws.

So what's good for the geese is also good for the gander.
