私もMerrill Newman 氏の件はどう展開するのか興味深く見ていたのですが、穏便に終結しましたね。
サンタクルーズの地元紙が伝えたところによると、メリル・ニューマン氏は留置場ではなくホテルの一室に滞在し、伝統的な朝鮮料理の食事を取っていたそうですね。
ホテルでの滞在は快適、しかし「退屈」だったそうで、北朝鮮当局が発表した同氏が謝罪文を読み上げる映像について聞かれると、ニヤニヤ笑って、「もちろん、あれは私の文章ではないよ」と答えたとか。

Merrill Newman said he was comfortable during detention in North Korean hotel room

Newman said he had been well fed eating traditional Korean food while being forced against his will to stay in the communist country after completing a 10-day vacation tour on Oct. 26.
He was kept in a hotel room, not a jail cell, and was comfortable, if not even "bored" during detention, Newman said.
He gave a smirk when asked about the video North Korean authorities released a couple of weeks ago where Newman read an apology about alleged criminal acts he had committed during his U.S. military service in the Korean War and the vacation tour.
"Obviously, that's not my English," he said Sunday.
