American Matthew Miller was sentenced on Sunday by a North Korean court to six years hard labor for "hostile acts" against Pyongyang work, the official news agency KCNA reported.
"He committed hostile acts, entering" North Korea "posing as a tourist in April," according to the agency, which does not give details on the sentence issued by the Supreme Court.
Miller, one of three Americans detained in the communist country, was arrested in April after being accused of having destroyed his visa and seek asylum in Pyongyang.
On September 8, several hours after the announcement of the judgment of Miller, United States called on North Korea to release their three citizens.
