The United States of America’s State Department has warned the citizens of the country wanting to visit North Korea to write their death warrants before taking off.
The Department said that such travellers should also make their funeral arrangements and designate careers for their children and pets.
The fresh advice came on the heels of a report by Fox News, against the background of the new rules issued by the North Korea last year that requires Americans to apply for a special validation to travel to the hermit kingdom, which is only handed out in “very limited circumstances.”
The travel ban was enforced in the aftermath of the death of US student, 22 year old Otto Warmbier, after being arrested by the North Korean as he was holidaying in Pyongyang. He was first sentenced to 15 years imprisonment with hard labour. He returned home last summer in a mysterious coma and died shortly afterwards.[myad]
