THE FAMILIES OF TWO AMERICAN JOURNALISTS

Will Obama do request to North korea Govt ,to give some relaxation to two American journalists ,whom were sentenced 12year jail.The families of both women us journalist has requested BARACK OBAMT to resolve this punishment and should negotiate their release as they are American citizens and should care.Question arises ,Does America listens the appeals of other countries when their citizens are given punishment in any crime in usa and they were sentenced to American jails ,then what happens .Relationships of North korean and u.s.a are also not going to good ends as last week Obama pledged to take a very hard look at tougher measures against North korea for failig to end its nuclear program and testing a second atomic device on May 25.How Head of state of super power can say this sentence to North korea, "We ask the government of North Korea to show compassion and grant Laura and Euna clemency and allow them to return home to their families."Ling, 32, has a serious medical condition, , and that Lee's 4-year-old daughter is showing "signs of anguish over the absence of her mother."

Lee, 36, and Ling — who work for former Vice President Al Gore's Current TV — were arrested March 17 near the China-North Korea border where they were reporting about the trafficking of women. It's unclear whether they tried to sneak into the North or if aggressive border guards crossed into Chinese territory and grabbed them, as has happened before.

The North accused the reporters of unspecified "hostile acts" and illegally entering the country, they were sentenced Monday to 12 years of "reform through labor."United nation should make laws for all citizens of all the countries that if any one does crime in any other country he should be sent back and also their own govt should give them punishment on merit basis.Its necessary and law should be same whether u are American or Nkorean or any one else .
