Snippet:

In a cryptic two-sentence report, the North’s state news agency said Laura Ling, 32, and Euna Lee, 36 were sentenced after the five-day trial ended Monday. They were guilty of a “grave crime” against the nation and of illegally crossing into North Korea, the Korean Central News Agency said.

The court “sentenced each of them to 12 years of reform through labor,” said the report, without giving other details. The phrase refers to a prison term, according to Choi Eun-suk, a North Korean law expert at Seoul’s University of North Korean Studies.

Ling and Lee, working for former Vice President Al Gore’s California-based Current TV, cannot appeal because they were tried in North Korea’s highest court, where decisions are final.
