Reporters Without Borders and Resolution217 seek release of photographer Seok Jae-hyun on eve of Beijing talks on North Korea [RSF]
Reporters Without Borders and the support committee for Seok Jae-hyun (Resolution217) have called for the photographer's release on the eve of talks on North Korea's nuclear programme opening in Beijing on 25 February.
Both groups called on South Korean Foreign Minister, Pan Ki-mun, and U. S. Secretary of State, Colin Powell, to raise the South Korean photographer's case with the Chinese authorities during the talks.
"While the world is closely watching developments in North Korea we wish to remind you that a photographer is in jail in China for having attempted to expose the plight of North Korean refugees in the country", the two organisations wrote to the ministers.
