While North Korea has almost completely isolated itself from the rest of the world, there is, rather surprisingly, a small tourist program that allows visitors from other countries to embark on heavily surveillanced tours of the country. It was on one such tour that American student, Otto Warmbier, 21, was travelling the country when he was apprehended by North Korean authorities.
Warmbier arrived in North Korea for the guided trip on the 29th of December 2015, blissfully unaware of what the coming days and months would bring. On January 2nd 2016, when he and his group were set to depart the country, Warmbier was apprehended by authorities at Pyongyang International Airport.
