Speaking in Seoul, South Korea, on Friday, Cindy Warmbier, the mother of  Otto Warmbier, who was detained in North Korea and allegedly tortured by North Korea after he was convicted in 2016 of trying to steal a propaganda poster, then died after he returned to the United States in 2017, lashed out at North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, saying at a news conference, “I’m hoping to visit the DMZ and say, ‘Hello, I’m Otto’s mom. I hate you. I hate you so much, but you can’t hurt me anymore … I want to look you in the eye and see evil and face it and know that as good people, we will win.’”

As The Daily Mail reports, Cindy Warmbier and her husband Fred are determined to find and eliminate illicit North Korean business assets around the world. The Warmbiers appealed to President Trump to address North Korea’s human rights abuses while the U.S. negotiates with North Korea.
