The families of abducted individuals in North Korea shared their efforts in trying to learn the fate of their loved ones and urged the governments of Japan, South Korea and the U.S. to keep putting pressure on the DPRK. One of the participants was Cindy Warmbier, mother of Otto Warmbier - a college student who was imprisoned in North Korea and released back to the U.S. in a vegetative state and later died. She said the North Korean regime had “no respect for human beings.” A second panel of government officials from the House, Senate and Japanese government discussed the efforts and legislation in place to deal with the North Korean abductions. close
