00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.043
North Korea requested for the return of the defectors.

00:00:03.043 --> 00:00:05.113
What is the official opinion?

00:00:06.044 --> 00:00:09.934
I don't think it's appropriate to tell you now.

00:00:12.226 --> 00:00:15.416
What a... they came by their free will and...

00:00:15.416 --> 00:00:19.547
so... they can be deported back?

00:00:20.496 --> 00:00:25.166
um... that issue hasn't been discussed yet (pause) yes.

00:00:31.451 --> 00:00:34.691
They came for their freedom

00:00:35.165 --> 00:00:39.165
But.. I'm trying to say the most honest and correct answer here

00:00:39.978 --> 00:00:43.978
I don't think it's appropriate to tell you now.

00:00:44.665 --> 00:00:46.325
I expect you to know...

00:00:46.325 --> 00:00:48.605
that not everything can be disclosed.

00:00:51.114 --> 00:00:53.844
(The gov.) is not expecting to deport them

00:00:54.450 --> 00:00:56.740
that is a extremely hard answer to get

00:00:57.148 --> 00:00:59.158
can't we just show our good will?

00:00:59.345 --> 00:01:00.725
what was so difficult?

00:01:02.256 --> 00:01:05.266
well as you know, the non-ruling parliment members,

00:01:05.266 --> 00:01:06.906
things are not that simple.

00:01:11.646 --> 00:01:14.276
Not deporting the defectors is non-negotiable.

00:01:14.309 --> 00:01:16.719
It shouldn't be traded for something else.

00:01:16.752 --> 00:01:18.862
You shouldn't even contemplate about this.

00:01:18.862 --> 00:01:19.372
Be firm.

00:01:19.393 --> 00:01:21.443
And the gov. should keep pace with

00:01:21.481 --> 00:01:23.741
US gov's footsteps on NK human rights.
