Samaritan Threatened for Defector Aid

Reverend Chun Ki-won (photo), 50, of the Durihana Missionary Foundation, who is visiting Los Angeles with six North Korean defectors who exiled to the U.S., on Sunday said, “This morning, someone invited me for a chat via an Internet messenger service, so I accepted the request. Then for about 40 minutes, the person used indescribable words and threatened to kill me.”

The chatter in question, according to the reverend, said, “You exiled six North Korean defectors to the U.S. You think you can solve everything? You just wait until I get my hands on you in Seoul. You’ll have your throat slit so badly that Park Geun-hye’s injury would be nothing compared to yours.”

The reverend said the chatter used a North Korean tone of speech and added, “There are a lot of people who want to kill you, but I’ll do it myself.”
