Family of Kenneth Bae, 45, is advocating for his release from North Korean Labor Camps.

The American father of three who used to run tours into North Korea from China was arrested in North Korea in November of 2012 for crimes against the state. Bae’s sister, Terri Chung, has created the website freekennow.com to garner support for his release and appeared on CNN to discuss her brother’s situation. Sports agent David Sugarman and U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, D-New York, have also spoke out about the issue, and the US State Department has expressed concern for Bae and may send envoy Robert King to secure his release. However, North Korea has already denied permission to enter the country to Jesse Jackson, who, at Bae’s family’s request, had been planning to travel to North Korea on Bae’s behalf.
