Unification Spokesperson Statement
July 14, 2015
-
It is deeply regrettable that
North Korea has unilaterally conducted a press conference on Joo
Won-moon without responding to the requests of the R.O.K.
government and the international community to release and
repatriate our detained citizens.
-
We once again urge the North to
immediately release our citizen, Joo Won-moon along with Kim
Jeong-uk, Kim Guk-gi, and Choi Chun-gil.
- As our detained citizens have been
denied access even to their families for a long period of time,
their concerned families are anxiously waiting for their loved ones
to return home.
- From a
humanitarian perspective, we urge the North to take immediate
measures to allow the families, our government officials, and the
counsel to access our detained citizens.
-
The R.O.K. government will exert
our utmost and multilateral efforts by closely cooperating with
the international community to have the detained citizens return
to their families as soon as possible.
