A Canadian citizen and minister of a Presbyterian Church in Toronto was allowed an interview with CNN, while being detained in a work camp in North Korea.

"Since his trial in December, Lim has been held in a labor camp. He appears to be the only  inmate. He has not seen any other prisoners. Lim works eight hours a day, six days a week, with rest breaks, digging holes for the planting of apple trees in the prison orchard."

The pastor was accused of funding and aiding defectors of the state through Mongolia. Read more here.
