Ahead of landmark talks with President Donald Trump, North Korea has allegedly released three U.S. prisoners who were being held for years in a labor camp.
Kim Dong-chul, Kim Sang-duk and Kim Hak-song are three U.S. citizens who were arrested in North Korea last year and accused of "hostile acts." All three have been held ever since in one of the rogue regime's notorious labor camps. But now multiple media reports have claimed that the three men were released from the camp and brought to receive medical treatment in North Korea's capital, Pyongyang. It is unclear if and when they will be returned to the U.S.
Some experts suggested that the move was meant to facilitate upcoming talks between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Late last week, the family of another U.S. citizen previously held by North Korea filed a lawsuit against Pyongyang over the death of their son. The 22-year-old college student Otto Warmbier had been accused of stealing a propaganda poster while visiting North Korea on a school trip. He was returned to the U.S. in a coma and died a few days later. In their lawsuit, Warmbier's parents accused North Korea's leadership of having brutally murdered their son. The lawsuit, and the detention of the three American citizens, was expected to be a point of contention in the upcoming talks between Trump and Kim.
Trump's newly appointed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo allegedly spoke to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un about the prisoners when he secretly visited the hermit kingdom over Easter.

I have not seen one comment from a democrat about the NK developments. Has anyone else seen anything? Their silence is deafening.

Apparently, it was between NK and SK, and Trump just got in the way.
