Yonhap News Agency: N. Korea demands return of defectors from S. Korea
SEOUL, May 19 (Yonhap) -- North Korea on Saturday called for the release of North Korean defectors that it claims have been lured and kidnapped by South Korea, offering a possible reason for its recent suspension of dialogue with Seoul.
