Otto Warmbier family will get half billion $ from North Korea

A court in the United States ordered North Korea to pay more than $ 500 million in compensation due to the death of an American student, Otto Warbler, who died after imprisonment and alleged torture in the DPRK.

Judge Beryl Howell from the Washington District Court found North Korea guilty of torture, hostage-taking and extrajudicial execution of a 22-year-old American.

"The totalitarian regime in Pyongyang used Uormbir as a pawn in his worldwide fraud and confrontation with the United States," the judge said. The parents of Wormbere thanked Beryl Howell for a “thoughtful decision,” according to which the North Korean leadership was found “legally and morally” responsible for the death of their son.

The decision of the Washington court has only symbolic meaning since there are no mechanisms in the US for collecting compensation from North Korea. The DPRK also does not have property in the United States that could be arrested as an interim measure.

The condemnation is symbolic and there is no international treaty between the two countries that force North Korea to pay this compensation or involve the two nations.

22-year-old Otto Warbier died in June 2017 shortly after being brought from North Korea to the United States in a state of coma with signs of torture on his body. Warbler arrived in North Korea in December 2015 as part of a tour group from China. In January 2016, he was detained at the Pyongyang airport while trying to take out a political propaganda poster. In court, the student was convicted of a "crime against the state."

Warmbier was sentenced to 15 years in prison for forced labor for stealing an advertising poster at the hotel where he was staying for tourist purposes in 2016, After his arrest for almost a year, the student was deported to his country in 2017 because of his deteriorated health status. Warmbier died in the hospital six days after stepping on American soil.

Doctors said Warmbier had no neurological reaction after the first examination. The family did not authorize an autopsy on the student's body, Shortly before the verdict was announced, a press conference was held at which Warbler, without concealing tears, asked for forgiveness from the North Korean people, calling the attempt to steal the poster "the most terrible mistake in life."

The North Korean administration rejected having tortured Warmbier and said that the student's death was due to food poisoning in prison.

Stan Lee was the man who made the heroes great

Stan Lee, the creative mind behind Spider-Man and many other Marvel heroes, died at the age of 95. He lent comic supermen traction - and founded a pop mythology that nobody can pass by today.

The publisher Marvel Comics and the entertainment giant Walt Disney honored Lee as a "superhero". "Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created," Disney CEO Bob Iger was quoted as saying by Marvel. It is almost impossible today to find a place in the Marvel Universe not marked by Lee.

As soon as Spider-Man has brought down the alleged car thief, the alarm system calls grumpy neighbors on the scene. A white-haired man leans out of the window and threatens the superhero with the index finger: "Do not force me to come down, you little bum!" What is for most viewers of "Spider-Man: Homecoming" only one Ulkmoment among many, offers Marvel Fans an ironic insider nonsense. Because the grinning nimble actor is none other than Stan Lee - the man without whom the main character of the film and several other Marvel stars would not exist.

In the future, comic enthusiasts around the world will be crushing one or two tears on this scene - and on many comparable lee-plays in other Marvel blockbusters - on Monday, the hero-maker died in Los Angeles. He was 95 years old.

The son of Jewish-Romanian immigrants grew up as Stanley Martin Lieber in New York. Thanks to family contacts, he found work as a teenager in the dime publishing Timely Publications, from which the Marvel Empire should develop. His creative urge (the young Stan wanted to act and write novels) soon made him the author and editor-in-chief of a pioneer of the young comic industry - and led him in the 1960s, together with gifted draftsmen such as Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko to unsurpassed success.

"Today we lost a true superhero," the Oscar Academy paid tribute on Twitter. "Stan Lee, thank you for everything." The US Army praised Lee for his services during the Second World War and for his later support for soldiers.

He missed a genre that had previously spawned especially outraged high-flyers like Batman and Superman, an overdue dose of humanity. His heroes had incredible abilities, but inside they were as concerned as their fans.

Spider-Man spun nets, knocking slogans and crawling facades up. Behind his red costume, however, hid a nerdy youth, who had to deal with everyday problems and matters of the heart. The Fantastic Four, conceptually a copy of the "Justice League" from the stables of the eternal competitor DC, explored stupid different worlds of death - but when they fell into quarrels, each reader felt reminded of his own family.

Lee's heroes and villains (over 300, most of the masculine, conjured from his and his ally's hat) seldom used trivial omnipotence fantasies.

Even the comedian Seth Rogen thanked Lee: He had given people who felt differently, the feeling that they were something special. "You were and will always be a superhero," wrote actress Jamie Lee Curtis. German rapper Casper wrote in English: "You, you yourself, were the greatest superhero of all."

In an interview, Lee said he himself was "stupid on business grounds", some of his former colleagues would argue against it: Jack Kirby, for example, saw Lee's urge to gain fame and royalties betrayed.

The African prince Black Panther, whose movie debut was celebrated as Hollywood's inclusion mark, once sprang from Lee's mind. Active and easygoing he was to the last. Now the builder of the modern superhero pantheon himself has gone under the legends. His work continues to grow, all by itself.
