<p>US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson announced the release of Otto Warmbier, a University of Virginia student.</p>
<p>Mr Warmbier was serving a 15-year prison term with hard labour for alleged anti-state acts. Mr Warmbier&#8217;s family said in a statement that he is in a coma and on his way home.</p>
<p>Republican Senator Rob Portman says North Korea should be &#8220;universally condemned for its abhorrent behaviour&#8221;. Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown of Cleveland said the country&#8217;s &#8220;despicable actions &#8230; must be condemned.&#8221;</p>
<p>The parents of the 22-year-old college student said he is on a Medivac flight on his way home.</p>
<p>Fred and Cindy Warmbier said they have been told their son has been in a coma since March 2016, and they had learned of this only one week ago.</p>
<p>They said &#8220;we want the world to know how we and our son have been brutalised and terrorised by the pariah regime&#8221; in North Korea.</p>
<p>They also said they are grateful Mr Warmbier &#8220;will finally be with people who love him&#8221;.</p>
<p>The president of the University of Virginia said the school is &#8220;deeply concerned and saddened&#8221; to learn that their student is in a coma.</p>
<p>Mr Warmbier was supposed to graduate from the university in May.</p>
<p>University president Teresa Sullivan said in a statement that the school is relieved to hear Mr Warmbier was released, but is concerned about his condition.</p>
<p>She said the university community has his family in its thoughts and prayers as he returns home.</p>
