Australian student detained in N. Korea 'released, safe'.

A 29-year-old Australian student detained in North Korea surfaced in Beijing airport on Thursday, saying he was in"very good" spirits after being released.

Then, with little warning, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Thursday told lawmakers that Sigley had"been released from detention in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" and that"he is safe and well". Alek Sigley's detention came just days before a landmark meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, fuelling speculation that it may have been politically motivated.
