WASHINGTON ? Otto F. Warmbier, an American college student held prisoner in North Korea for more than a year, has been medically evacuated from the reclusive country in a coma and is on his way back to the United States, according to a statement from his parents.
?We want the world to know how we and our son have been brutalized and terrorized by the pariah regime? in North Korea, Fred and Cindy Warmbier said in a statement to The Associated Press. They said they were grateful their son would ?finally be with people who love him.?
A senior American official said there had been intelligence reports in recent weeks that indicated Mr. Warmbier had been repeatedly beaten while in North Korean custody. The official, who was not authorized to publicly discuss intelligence and spoke anonymously, said there were concerns that Mr. Warmbier had died as a result of the beatings.
