Boston man gets 8 years' hard labor in North Korea.
North Korea sentenced a Boston man to eight years of hard labor and ordered him to pay a $700,000 fine for crossing into the communist country illegally earlier this year, state media reported Wednesday.
Aijalon Mahli Gomes, 30, was the fourth American detained by North Korea for ******* entry in less than a year. Journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee were held for five months before their release last August, and activist Robert Park was expelled some 40 days after crossing into the country last Christmas.
