Yes, that is possible.



He's brain-dead, so, yeah, he's effectively dead. The family had requested that the doctors not discuss Warmbier's prognosis, so we can only speculate on what that might be.



Except that he went into a coma after his trial, not before.
You think NK stopped abusing Otto after the trial?

It was an issue and discussed on this forum immediately after Otto's conviction.

What was your point about that anyway?

Yes, Otto went into an anoxic coma after the trial.https://www.headway.org.uk/about-bra...njury-effects/
You think after the North Koreans were done with their kangaroo court trials that they stopped abusing their prisoners?

A lot of people think traveling will make them more well-rounded, that it will look good on their resume, that employers and social contacts with be impressed that they went to these places. That it will make great cocktail party conversations. But the fact is, nobody really cares. And the only people who are impressed by it, are people who are easily impressed.


My nephew's college-aged friends travel all over the world, putting it on credit cards or raiding their parent's bank accounts for the money, and then boast about it all over social media, posting pics from their travels. Most of them have never worked and they're in their early 20s now. I wonder what their future will be, as they have yet to embark on any kind of career path or even attempt to.

His mother said he was sentenced without any opportunity for legal assistance or representation. The incident was not reported by the Saudi press. But it was reported by the Moroccan press after the man came back to his country. Since there is no free press in Saudi Arabia there may be many other incidents we don't know about.

For all the people criticizing him for going on vacation in North Korea, it wasn't exactly a choice between Aruba and North Korea. He was going to do a study abroad in Hong Kong, and arranged for this short trip to NK to see it while he was over there. Apparently he's a well traveled man, and enjoys learning about different cultures. He was lead to believe this tour company was safe.
