SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea said Monday that it will put an American on trial for entering the communist country illegally.
State-run media identified him as Aijalon Mahli Gomes, 30, of Boston and said “his crime has been confirmed.”
The Korean Central News Agency did not say when he would stand trial.
A spokeswoman for the man’s family in Boston, Tha leia Schlesinger, said Gomes had been teaching English in South Korea for about two years and it was unclear why he would go to North Korea.
