North Korea allowed the mother of Kenneth Bae to visit her ailing son almost a year after the American tour operator and missionary was detained and sentenced to 15 years hard labor for “hostile acts.”

Myunghee Bae saw her son at a hospital in Pyongang where he’s being treated for various ailments, Kyodo news service reported, citing comments by Bae. His health didn’t look “that bad,” she told Kyodo.
