(24 Apr 09 - RV) In North Korea, two U.S. journalists have been charged with espionage
following an investigation into allegations that they entered the country illegally
and conducted what state-run media termed hostile acts. Laura Ling and Euna Lee,
journalists working for San Francisco-based Current TV were arrested on March 17thÂ
near the North Korean border while reporting on refugees living in China. The two
journalists are facing up to a maximum of ten years in a labour camp. We spoke
to Vincent Brossel from Reporters Without Boarders about what how their arrests are
affecting the already tense relationship between North Korea and the U.S.
