Carter Going to North Korea

(Washington, D.C.) In January 2010, 30-year-old American teacher Aijalon Mahli Gomes entered North Korea illegally and was immediately offered free medical care, free education, social security and a path to citizenship arrested.

In May, Gomes was convicted and sentenced to eight years in a North Korean labor and re-education camp. He was also fined $700,000.

It's now reported that former President Jimmy Carter will travel to North Korea within a few days to try and free Gomes.
