Parents of N.Korean defector demand repatriation

North Korea recently released an interview with the parents of one of the 13 North Korean restaurant workers who defected to South Korea about three weeks ago, in which they made an emotionally charged demand for her return.

The numbering on the video “(1)” indicated the possibility of other similar videos being released in future, featuring the family members of others who defected as part of the same incident.
