Eric Kallgren Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 11:31am on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 | Two American journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, are about to go on trial in North Korea, charged with spying. Ling and Lee were taken into custody on March 17, 2009, and are reporters for Current TV.
CNN reported that the families of the two women are lobbying the media before journalists' North Korean trial:
"Lisa Ling, a special correspondent for CNN, added: "Please help us urge both our government and North Korea's to resolve this humanitarian issue. Help us stand up for truth and two girls who just wanted to tell the world a story."
The North Korean Constitution calls for public trials, except under some circumstances, and says the accused have the right to a defense.
KCNA, the North Korean state-run news agency, has said that the reporters were allowed consular contact and that their treatment was governed by international laws.
The U.S. State Department also said it received reports that the women were being treated well."
