South Koreans are split on whether the two North Korean men repatriated in Nov. 2019 should have been put on trial in the South for their alleged crimes, according to a new poll published Wednesday.
Out of 1,000 respondents, 43.1% told Data Research this week that the two North Koreans accused of killing 16 crewmates before fleeing the DPRK should have been “put on trial in South Korea,” while 43.3% answered that they had to be “forcefully repatriated” to North Korea. Another 7.9% said they had “other views,” while 5.8% said they are not sure.
