Canadian pastor freed from life sentence in North Korea
Pastor Hyeon Soo Lim, who was serving a life sentence in North Korea, was freed Thursday on “humanitarian” grounds because of his health, the country’s state-run news agency said. He will be allowed to return to Canada.
He was convicted and sentenced to hard labor for life in December 2015 after North Korea accused him of trying to overthrow the regime.
The sudden release of Lim, also known as Rim Hyon Su, comes amid flaring tensions between North Korea and the U.S. Details of his condition and his current location were not disclosed.
