A probation was sentenced to a 20-year-old who was handed over to trial repeatedly in order to bring his mother in North Korea.

Judge Park Gyu-do, the 7th criminal justice of the Changwon District Law, announced on the 24th that he sentenced A (25), who was handed over to trial for violation of the Inter-Korean Exchange and Cooperation Act, to six months in prison and two years probation.

A defector from North Korea in 2016 decided to bring her mother from North Korea in May 2019.

Accordingly, I made a plan to meet my mother in China by contacting a North Korean defector broker and going through the Yalu River.

Afterwards, I arrived at the border area of ​​the Yalu River in Changbai County, Jilin Province, China, and waited for my mother.

Unlike the original plan, Mr. A, who became impatient, went directly to North Korea and crossed the Yalu River to bring his mother.

Afterwards, I stayed at my grandmother's house in Songbong-dong, Hyesan-si, Yanggang Province, looking for an opportunity, but after hearing that her mother was arrested by the North Korean Security Agency, she crossed the Yalu River and crossed over to China again.

Judge Park ruled, "In order for South Koreans to visit North Korea, they must obtain the approval of the Minister of Unification." "However, Mr. A visited North Korea without the Minister's approval."
