North Korea has sentenced detained American Matthew Miller to six years of hard labor on a conviction of "hostile acts" against Pyongyang.
Miller, in his mid-20s, was arrested in April after ripping up his visa at immigration and demanding asylum in North Korea.
After a brief session Sunday morning, Miller was denied the possibility of appeal.
A trial is also expected soon for Jeffrey Fowle who entered the North as a tourist and was arrested in May for leaving a Bible at a provincial club.
A third U.S. citizen, Korean-American missionary Kenneth Bae, is serving out a 15-year sentence for what Pyongyang says are "hostile acts" intended to overthrow the government.
朝鲜判处美国公民米勒6年劳动教养，指控其有反朝敌对行为。二十多岁的米勒今年4月进入朝鲜后撕毁了他的签证，要求在朝鲜得到庇护。
米勒星期天受到短暂审判，没有获准上诉。预计朝鲜很快将审判以游客身份入境的另一位美国人福尔。福尔今年5月在当地一个俱乐部留下一本圣经后被逮捕。
此外，韩裔美国公民裴俊浩正在朝鲜服15年徒刑。朝鲜指控裴俊浩有反朝敌对行为，试图推翻朝鲜政府。
