| 2004-07-27 |
| 4:02 pm PST, 27th July 2004 In Seoul, 200 North Koreans have arrived after apparently escaping through China. The group is described as the largest group of defectors ever by South Korean officials. Their arrival was arranged by the South Korean government. A second group is also expected, bringing the total to about 460 people. Government security officials are expected to debrief the arrivals to make sure there are no North Korean spies among them. |
