An American woman was deported from North Korea on Wednesday over charges that she secretly produced "anti-DPRK propaganda" under the pretense of humanitarian work, according to the country's state news agency.
The woman, who North Korea identifies as Suh Sandra, was "engaged in plot-breeding and propaganda against the DPRK during her frequent visits to it under the pretext of 'grant-in-aid' for nearly 20 years," KCNA reported.
Suh, who has reportedly visited North Korea since 1998 for humanitarian work, "secretly produced and directed" photos and videos out of "inveterate repugnancy" -- that is, long-established hatred -- toward the country and its people, the news agency said.
Suh admitted to the crimes, apologized and "earnestly begged for pardon," KCNA added. She was reportedly pardoned due to her "old age."
We've reached out to the U.S. State Department to confirm the report, and will update if and when we hear back.
