© News1 DBNorth Korean refugees in their 30s were arrested who tried to escape North Korea by hiding at a shooting range of a military base near the civilian control line in Cheorwon, Gangwon province.
The Security Investigation Division of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced on 20: “We are investigating a North Korean defector A, a man in his 30s who tried North Korea, for violating the National Security Law.” Mr. A is accused of attempting to escape North Korea by trespassing on a military base training ground with four mobile phones and a barbed wire cutter.
To sum up the coverage of Dong-A Ilbo, Mr. A was captured after breaking into a division’s firing range in Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do around 9 am on the 17th. At that time, the battalion tank unit belonging to the division was undergoing tactical and firing training at the firing range. This firing range is a civil access control facility about 10 km from the civil control line.
At the time of discovery, Mr. A said that he was walking outside the shooting range with his body bag on his body. The battalion commander of the tank battalion met him for the first time and said: “You must not come here. When he said, “It’s dangerous because it’s training week,” it was said that Mr. A acted suspiciously with gibberish. Consequently, the military captured Mr. A and handed him over to a nearby police booth. During the investigation process, after discovering that Mr. A was from a North Korean defector, the security investigation team of the Seosung Police Agency urgently arrested City A and requested an arrest warrant. On the 19th, the Seoul Central District Court said: “There is concern that the accused will be clarified and the suspect will escape. Given the importance of matters related to national security, it is necessary to investigate the detention ”. According to the police, Mr. A has since determined that there is a possibility of raping North Korea, and the police have been closely watching him as a subject of management. After defecting from North Korea in 2018, Mr. A has mainly lived in Seongdong-gu, Seoul. However, after divorcing his wife, he is known to have often spoken with his acquaintances or guardians and said, “I want to go back to North Korea.” Attempts by North Korean defectors to escape to North Korea have recently escalated into a social controversy. Kim Mo (24), a North Korean defector who was under investigation by police on charges of sexually assaulting an acquaintance in July, fled North Korea from Ganghwa Island, Incheon, and the military surveillance system was harshly criticized.
According to the Unification Ministry, 29 North Korean defectors have fled North Korea since 2012. Currently, there are 889 North Korean refugees whose location the government cannot determine. An official from a North Korean refugee group said: “There are not a few people who can’t even figure out where to find out, so it seems that many more people have fled North Korea.”
