| 2004-10-29 |
| According to the [South Korean] National Intelligence Service and the prosecutors, a 34-year-old man, whom the press did not identify, was found to have secretly entered North Korea and was later deported to China, from where he returned to South Korea. He was arrested on charges under the National Security Law. According to the authorities, the man harangued his friends about "South Korea’s subordination to the United States" and the unfairness of capitalism as a social system. ...the man [had] dropped out of high school and then worked at a garment factory. After he entered North Korea, he told a women working in the fields, "I am from South Korea. I want to live in an equal society like the North." North Korean authorities welcomed him with a banquet but interrogated him the next day about his motives for defecting and [he] was sent to a detention camp for foreigners. For 40 days, until 9 October, he was interrogated by the military and Pyongyang’s Immigration authorities. Eventually, he was expelled to China. On 21 October, the Chinese government deported him to South Korea. |

| #6 I wonder if he still wants to 'defect' to the workers paradise. Did he like the North Korean prisons? Perhaps he developed a taste for 'eatible clay' and bark. Patty Murray can go next time. |

| #2 Sorry for the multiple post...every time I hit "submit", I got some sort of .ASP error from the Microsoft web server. Silly me, I thought that an error message meant that the posting didn't go thorugh. |
