The Christian missionary from the U.S. has entered North Korea carrying a letter to leader Kim Jong Il in order to call attention to the tens of thousands of political prisoners believed held in the communist state, an activist said Saturday. The banner read "Immediately release political prisoners." (AP Photo/ Freedom and Life for All North Koreans, Seo Suk-gu)
