Otto Warmbier's parents chasing North Korean assets

1 / 4South Korea North Korea US HostageCindy Warmbier, left, speaks as his husband Fred listens on, about their son Otto Warmbier who died after being released by North Korea in 2017 during a press conference in Seoul, South Korea, Friday, Nov. 22, 2019. The Warmbiers say they are committed to finding and shutting down illicit North Korean business assets around the world in efforts to hold its government accountable for widespread human rights abuses.

“We feel that if you force North Korea to engage the world in a legal standpoint, then they will have to ultimately have a dialogue. They are not going to come and have a dialogue with us any other way,” he said. The North denied that it tortured or cruelly treated the University of Virginia student and called itself the “biggest victim” in his death while accusing Washington and Seoul of orchestrating a smear campaign.

“We cannot give up, we can't give them a pass. We have to fight with all of our power,” Cindy Warmbier said.
