The extraordinary lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, details in blunt language how the University of Virginia student, a former homecoming king and soccer standout from Cincinnati, was "brutally" abused after being detained on a tour in Pyongyang. He arrived home in a coma after being released last June, dying days later. The action aims to hold Kim Jong Un's regime legally accountable for their son's death, but the timing also raises significant geopolitical implications, coming weeks before an expected meeting between President Trump and the North Korean leader in late May or early June. It also comes a day before a high-stakes inter-Korea summit between Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in. |
