The director of the North Korean hospital that treated Otto Warmbier, the US student who died after being held in the country, rejected fresh allegations that he was tortured in custody. The 22-year-old was jailed in the North for more than a year and was released in a comatose state in 2017 but died shortly after returning home. The director of the Pyongyang Friendship Hospital -- which treated Warmbier -- slammed the claims as a "total distortion of the truth" in a statement carried by the North's official KCNA news agency late Saturday.
