Korea/USA/China

July 26, 2006 ㅡ BEIJING - Three North Korean defectors left for the United States on Sunday, sources here said Monday. In May, four North Koreans made their way into a South Korean diplomatic mission in Shenyang, a northeastern industrial city. Shortly thereafter, they scaled a wall to enter the adjoining U.S. diplomatic premises and sought asylum in the United States.
Two of the defectors who asked for asylum in the United States are men and the third is a woman. All are in their 20s or 30s, but have not been more precisely identified.JoongAng daily

What is not in Egnlish version is that these two men were using the physical force to
the Korean officials who were trying to stop their climibing the wall of the embassy..In other words, does that mean that South Korean officials trying to stop North Koreans defecting?

彼らは昨年9月、瀋陽の韓国総領事館に進入して韓国行きを要求し、脱北者6人が初めて米国に入国したという消息を聞いて米国行きを決意。韓国総領事館と塀をはさんだだけの米領事館に進入した。彼らと一緒に米領事館に進入した男性1人は北朝鮮の前職情報要員であることから米国行きできなかったものものと伝えられている。この脱北者は韓国行きを希望しているということだ。また当時、彼らのうち男性2人は塀を越える過程でこれを制止する韓国公館職員に物理力を行使していた。


And it seems Korean version has not put up the article yet at all.
