SEOUL: The South Korean government has clarified that a man recently passed through a surveillance-intensive area from South Korea to North Korea.
It is bordered by the eastern countries of North and South Korea by a 248 km, 4 km wide border. No one is allowed to cross the border through this area, which is under intense surveillance and where landmines are buried.
More than 34,000 people have emigrated from North Korea to South Korea since the 1990s. Only 30 of them have returned to North Korea in the last 10 years. North Korea has completely closed its borders to control the corona.
In this case, on the 1st of last month, a person from South Korea crossed the border to North Korea. This has been reported on surveillance cameras. The person has crossed the fence at the border.
South Korean officials have said that in 2020, a man escaped from North Korea to South Korea via the same border. He told the inquest that he could no longer live in North Korea. The man, who left North Korea, has now returned to North Korea. His life is in danger there. Thus the authorities said.
