South Korea - Pyongyang's blackmail to secure the return of four defectors

"The North Korean relatives in video displays of four defectors," outraged the newspaper in Seoul. In February, a fishing boat North Korea had accidentally crossed the maritime boundary between the two Koreas, with thirty-one people on board. Four of them wished to remain in the South, to the fury of Pyongyang.

To put pressure on them, the regime issued March 9 images of their relatives back in North and begging them to return. This kind of "blackmail" would be a first, stresses the newspaper.
