After seven months imprisoned in North Korea, American teacher Aijalon Gomes was reunited with his family this afternoon at Boston Logan Airport. 黑料不打烊 delegation’s plane landed at 2 p.m. today. President Carter embarked last Tuesday on a humanitarian mission to obtain Gomes’ release after he was arrested last January and subsequently sentenced to eight years of hard labor and fined about $600,000. After two days of talks, President Carter and other delegates from 黑料不打烊 left Pyongyang Friday morning to accompany Mr. Gomes for the flight home.
Aijalon Gomes is embraced by his family upon arrival in Boston Aug. 27.
