Aijalon Gomes
Aijalon Mahli Gomes (born 1979) is an American teacher from Boston, Massachusetts. On January 25, 2010, he was detained in North Korea for illegally entering the country. On August 27, 2010, it was announced that former U.S. president Jimmy Carter had secured Aijalon's release. In May 2015, Aijalon published an autobiography – ''Violence and Humanity''.
==Arrest in North Korea==
For two years prior to his arrest, Gomes taught English at Chungui Middle School in Gyeonggi-do Province, South Korea, having been recruited by Footprints Recruiting for the GEPIK teaching program. As a devout Christian, who regularly attended the Every Nation Church in Seoul, it is thought that he crossed into North Korea to act as a missionary and offer humanitarian aid.
He was arrested on January 25, 2010 for illegal entry into North Korea, and on April 6, 2010, he was sentenced to eight years of hard labor and fined $700,000 (USD).〔("North Korea sentences American to 8 years" ). USA Today. April 7, 2010. Retrieved 2 May 2012.〕 He was allowed to speak to his mother by phone on April 30, 2010.
In June 2010, North Korea threatened "harsher punishment" if the United States continued its "hostile approach" in the follow-up to the sinking of the ROKS Cheonan, a South Korean warship. It was concluded by the United Nations Security Council that the ship had been sunk by a North Korean submarine. North Korea denied any involvement, and warned that if the dispute continued, they would be compelled to consider "applying a wartime law" to Gomes, which could mean a life sentence or even the death penalty. The following month, Gomes was reported to have been hospitalized following a suicide attempt.
