The family of Otto Warmbier, an American college student who died following his release from captivity in North Korea last year, have requested 1-point-1 billion US. dollars of compensation from North Korea. <br />According to VOA on Tuesday, the Warmbiers requested compensation on four areas, including reparation for Warmbier's mental anguish and consolation for his parents. <br />The calculation was based on a similar captivity case that led to the death of a missionary. <br />On that occasion, a U.S. district court fined the North 300-million dollars, but the Warmbiers claim this wasn't enough to deter Pyeongyang from "heinous acts" and they are seeking a larger amount to send a message to the North<br />A hearing will be held on Wednesday in Washington. <br />
