Ottawa: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday he is "very concerned" about North Korea's sentencing of Canadian pastor Hyeon Soo Lim to life in prison with hard labor.

"We have tremendous concern about it," Trudeau told reporters outside the House of Commons. "The issues of North Korea's governance and judicial system are well-known and we are very concerned about someone being sentenced to life in North Korea."
