Laos Incident

Unfortunately, nine North Korean defectors who tried to come into South Korea from Laos were sent back to North Korea again.  North Korea says that South Korea forced these people to read the Bible and to try to go to South Korea.  They might be treated as North Korean defectors by the government.  If they are treated as defectors, they might face execution at once.  The trial to clarify their situation is very short and lawyers have no power.
The fault of this happening lies with South Korea's diplomats in Laos.  The diplomats promised to go to their place by airplane, located 3 hours away by car, after one day.  But the airplane was delayed a few days, and that few days caused the arrest of the defectors.  It would be proper to punish the diplomats.
I hope that diplomats work hard with strong responsibility to save lives.
