In North Korea american, Mathew Miller of California was sentenced to six years of hard labor. During the 90 minute trial on Saturday September 14, Miller admitted to wanting to commit espionage or spying on North Korea. He was also guilty of illegally entering the country. The court stated that he tore up his Visa at an airport in North Korea. Miller admitted to wanting to experience the North Korean prison life so he could experience the North Korean human rights situation.
Do you thing that Miller should receive this sentence? Why or why not?

Good story but you didn't comment back to anyone.
Yes and no. Yes because he went into North Korea illegally. No because he just wanted to spy on North Korea, he didn't do anything illegal besides entering the country.
If he actually did go to North Korea seeking to be be arrested to study North Korea's human rights, then guess what; He succeeded. Spying is a very serious crime, and has been recognized as such for centuries, he should be prosecuted for it. While I do support people spying on North Korea, if you get got then you need to answer for it. Luckily, Korea opted for just six years of labor, instead of the age-old sentence for espionage, death.
I think he is crazy for what he did. And six years is better than being killed, or tortured so it could be worse. I think they should of just kicked him out of the country and sent him home.
He could or he couldn't. I don't know much about North Korea and how they work but they could or they couldn't. I think it is foolish though to even mess with North Korea or even go near it. Does he deserve it? He could but who knows what he was really going to do in North Korea. He shouldn't have gotten himself in this mess in the first place.
I think he should serve his sentence, and he admitted to wanting to spy in their country, so even he knows that he is guilty. If there was something similar to this happening in our country, I think that the punishment would be very different.
He should serve his sentence. He did illegal things in a hostile country. There should be no chance of us trying help him out of prison. He wanted this anyway.
I think he should since he illegally entered the country and he was spying on them. At least he wants to know how the North Korean life actually is to experience it.
I dont know what hes thinking honestly i mean Who wants to experience prison time to get a feel for human rights in korea. He is clearly very concerned about the lorean government and probably wanted this in some ways
No because if he wants to experience the prison life then they shouldn't give him six years in Korea send him back to the states and have him in prison here.
