An American woman who had been deported from North Korea after being accused of propagandizing against the North arrived in Beijing Thursday.
North Korea’s state media said Wednesday that Pyongyang expelled the woman, named Sandra Suh, blaming her for spreading anti-Pyongyang propaganda abroad with photos and videos about the North through her frequent visits under the pretense of “humanitarianism” since 1998.
Suh arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport on a flight from Pyongyang on Thursday and was whisked away by U.S. embassy officials, without making comments to reporters.
North Korea decided to expel Suh, given her old age and the “generosity” of the North’s law, according to a report by the North’s Korean Central News Agency.
It did not elaborate on her age or the period of her recent stay in North Korea. (Yonhap)
