SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea's state news agency said on Saturday an Australian student who was expelled from the country after 10 days' detention had committed "spying acts" through his work with foreign media. Alek Sigley, who had been held in North Korea since June 25, was an active social media user and also a regular contributor to international media organisations including NK News about his time in North Korea. His latest post, uploaded on April 30, describes his dining experiences in Pyongyang, according to the NK News website. KCNA said Sigley admitted his "spying acts" and repeatedly asked for a pardon. It added that he was expelled from North Korea on Thursday.
