S.Korea presidential office denounces 2019 repatriation of N.Korean fishermen-Yonhap

- South Korea
South Korea's presidential office denounced on Wednesday the 2019 repatriation of North Korean fishermen suspected of killing 16 of their shipmates under the previous Moon Jae-in administration as a "crime against humanity", Yonhap news agency reported.
The office vowed to uncover the truth behind the decision, as South Korean prosecutors have re-opened an investigation into the case.
At the time the South deported the fishermen, Moon's government called them "dangerous criminals" who had killed 16 colleagues in a fight over an abusive captain on their ship before crossing the sea border.
