"유엔, 北에 강제실종 피해자 30명 정보제공 요청"
The UN asked Pyeongyang to investigate the whereabouts of 30 missing South Koreans believed to be abducted by the regime.
According to Voice of America, the UN's Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances recently requested the communist state check which of them are still alive... and find out where they are.
Most of the South Koreans were fishermen and crew who were kidnapped at sea in the 1960s and 70s.
The working group accepts cases of missing persons from their relatives and civic groups, then asks the relevant countries to submit investigation results.
The general view is that the hermit kingdom submits sufficient info.
According to Seoul's unification ministry, more than 100-thousand South Koreans have been abducted or detained by the regime since the 1950s.
