Will the fates of abductees be found?
List of abductees passed to North Korea by International Red Cross
P.3, Chosun Daily, Jan. 25, 1957
The list of so-called South Korean displaced civilians was passed to North Korea via the International Red Cross. The Korean Red Cross passed on a list of 7,034 displaced civilians to the International Red Cross at the end of November last year. The International Red Cross sent the list to the North Korean regime and is attempting to find out the fates of the displaced civilians. According to the Korean Red Cross on the 23rd, the North Korean regime has not rejected the list.
This shows that the International Red Cross is playing an important role as an intermediary and that, this time, there is hope. The list is composed of displaced civilians from 18 to 89; the majority are in their 30s and 40s. Public servants comprise the largest group, amounting to 1,359 of the total, followed by those in agriculture, amounting to 1005.
