Tour Company that Warmbier Used No Longer Taking American Citizens to NOKO
The tour company that Otto Warmbier used for a trip to North Korea will no longer take American citizens to the reclusive nation.
FOX’s Steve Rappoport has the story:
One day after Warmbier died in a Cincinnati hospital, young pioneer tours announced the change on its website, saying the risk for Americans visiting North Korea has become too high.
The 22-year-old college student was detained in January of last year, accused of trying to steal a propaganda sign from a hotel and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor.
Warmbier’s father accused young pioneer tours of luring his son to the north and said the China-based company promised its customers were never detained.
The tour company still touts North Korea as one of the safest places on earth to visit, provided travelers obey the laws.
