CRI听力:North Korean Detainee Reunites with Family in Ohio
American Jeffrey Fowle, who was freed from his 6-month captivity in North Korea this week, has been reunited with his family in Ohio.
Fowle was detained in early May for trying to leave a bible in his hotel room.
Speaking next to Fowle and his family, Fowle's Lawyer, Tim Tepe, says the newly-released man was treated well by the North Korean government and is in good health.
However, he says they remain concerned about the two other Americans still being held in North Korea.
"Although we are overjoyed by Jeff's return home, we are mindful that Kenneth Bae and Matthew Miller continue to be detained in the DPRK and understand the disappointment their families are experiencing today that their loved ones did not return home with Jeff."
The White House has also been calling on North Korea to release Bae and Miller.
Bae, a Korean-American, is serving a multi-year sentence on a spying conviction.
24-year old Miller is being held after entering North Korea and then tearing up his tourist visa, allegedly saying at the time that he wanted to be arrested and defect to the DPRK.
He's since begun pleading with US authorities to help him be repatriated.
