However, Warmbier, who became a vegetable, was taken back by his family.
Hospital spokesman Martin said that Warmbier's nervous system has been seriously damaged. He flew at the US military base in Sapporo, Japan, arrived at Renken Airport in Cincinnati on the evening of June 13, and then went to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for treatment.
Warmbier's relatives and friends attended the conference. Warmbier father Fred (Fred
Warmbier) said: "The North Korean government has no reason to treat our son like this, and there is no reason to treat others in the same way. I asked them to release other arrested Americans. " Fred added that the North Korean government explained that his son was in a coma because of Botox infection and taking sleeping pills, but he didn't believe it.
It is understood that Warmbier from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA was detained in Pyongyang for more than a year. It is reported that he was arrested by the North Korean government for stealing political posters from local hotels.
The Associated Press quoted Warmbier's parents as saying that their son was on his way home by medical plane, but unfortunately he was in a coma. They said that Warmbier had been in a coma since his trial, but they didn't know the news until a week ago.
Neighbors tied blue and white ribbons on the tree to welcome Warmbier home.
Some analysts believe that North Korea's release of Warmbier at this time shows its willingness to return to the Six-Party Talks. However, some experts believe that this is due to Warmbier's health condition. "He was in a coma for a year. They may just want to put him on a plane before he dies, so that he does not die during his sentence in North Korea. "
