Traveller who visited every country says North Korea nearly put him in prison after friend scattered ashes

Danish traveller Henrik Jeppesen, who has visited every country on Earth, says North Korea was the only place where he genuinely feared prison. His companion secretly scattered a friend’s ashes at the DMZ despite guides refusing permission, then filmed it. When airport officials found the video, both men were accused of “polluting” the country and escaped only after an apology letter.
