North Korean university names detained US citizen

A North Korean university has named the US citizen detained on Saturday as Kim Sang-duk, also known as Tony Kim.

The Korean-American lecturer taught at Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST) for several weeks prior to his arrest.

The investigation into Mr Kim was for matters "not connected in any way" to the university, PUST said in a statement to the BBC.

Mr Kim was arrested just as he was about to leave Pyongyang.

North Korean authorities have not yet disclosed the reason for the arrest.

Most Americans who go there know the risk they are taking.  Usually they go to try and help people.

Thanks for highlighting this.

Dreadful.

However . . .  it's either a martyr mentality or lunacy, imho, to go there in the first place.

BTW, there is a poll here

to choose what you expect the outcome with NK to be.

He reportedly taught at Yanbian University of Science and Technology in China, which is affiliated to PUST. The BBC's calls to Yanbian were not answered.

Interesting. A dude hanging out with the Norks and the Chinamen. Spy?
