Ambassador: Korean Court and Lim

ambassador: Swedish Ambassador Torkel Stiernlof says he met with Lim for 40 minutes last week, according to Hamilton Spectator. He said they discussed Lim's health and other matters, but refused to comment further. Hyeon Soo Lim, a pastor with the Light Korean Presbyterian Church of Mississauga, was sentenced in December 2015 by a North Korean court to life in prison with hard labour for what it called crimes against the state. The ambassador said in an email to The Associated Press on Wednesday that he and Lim weren't rushed. He was escorted in and out of the room without handcuffs by uniformed guards, Stiernlof said. He said there were two North Korean officials in civilian clothes and an official photographer present throughout the meeting, which was held in a conference room at a Pyongyang hotel.
