Urge for Repatriation of People Kidnapped to North Korea

On Tuesday when the 7th round of inter-Korean ministerial talks is being held at Hotel Shilla in Jangchung-dong, Jung-gu, some 200 people from 20 organizations are waging protest for the repatriation of people kidnapped to North Korea in front of the hotel. Those organizations include the Korean War Abductees’ Family union and the National Congress of Freedom and Democracy. They set on fire the North Korean flag after the protest.
