The government of North Korea continues to hold Aijalon Mahli Gomes, a member of the Bowdoin Class of 2001, who was arrested in January for entering the country illegally. Amid reports over the weekend that Gomes has attempted to commit suicide, some experts now see a slight chance that he could be released.
Dear Bowdoin
Is there a way for those of us who knew Aijalon while we were at Bowdoin with him to send a message to him or his family? Can Bowdoin help us in this?
