Another South Korean

POW escapes from

North Korea

 

    In June, the Agence France-Presse reported from Seoul that another South Korean POW had escaped from North Korea. Sixty-nine-year-old Lee Young-Sok was captured during the Korean War. When the war was over, instead of being returned to South Korea, Lee was forced to work as a coal miner in the North.

 

     Lee is the twentieth South Korean POW, that we know of, to escape from North Korea since 1994.
