North Korea has detained a second American citizen who worked at a university in Pyongyang, The Washington Post reported.
The Post cited a report from the official Korean Central News Agency saying that Kim Hak-song, who worked at the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology, was arrested Saturday on suspicion of “hostile acts” against North Korea. His detention comes about two weeks after the arrest of another American citizen, Kim Sang-duk, who had been teaching a class on international finance and management at PUST.
PUST, North Korea’s only private university, has more than 60 foreign faculty members from Canada, China, Europe and the U.S., according to its website. The Post reported that the university is run by a Korean-American professor and funded largely by Christian groups.
