The parents of a former U.S. hostage who died after being released from North Korea in a coma say they are committed to finding and shutting down illicit North Korean business assets around the world.
Fred Warmbier, right, speaks as his wife Cindy listens about their son Otto Warmbier who died after being released by North Korea during a press conference in Seoul, South Korea, Friday, Nov. 22, 2019. The Warmbiers say they are committed to finding and shutting down illicit North Korean business assets around the world in efforts to hold its government accountable for widespread human rights abuses.
“My mission would be to hold North Korea responsible, to recover and discover their assets around the world,” said Fred Warmbier, who was invited to a forum hosted by a Seoul-based group representing the families of South Koreans abducted by the North during the 1950-53 Korean War. The 22-year-old suffered severe brain damage and died shortly after being returned to the United States in a vegetative state in June 2017.
The Warmbiers have been pushing legal action seeking the closure of a hostel operated on the grounds of the North Korean Embassy in Berlin and plan to go after other hostels the country operates in Europe, which they say are aimed at pressuring governments to tighten their enforcement of sanctions against Pyongyang.
