Repatriation after heavy rain casualties by Mikael Johnsson

A small light in the dark with regard to inter-Korean relations is that they have managed to agree on a workable and worthy mechanism for repatriating mortal remains and people who accidentally found themselves on the wrong side of the border. Repatriation is carried out by the two country´s Red Cross, under military surveillance in Panmunjom, and NNSC observe them regularly. Last Friday night was repatriation for the four North Korean fishermen who one day earlier came in severe distress and was rescued by a South Korean patrol ship. Since they wanted to return to North Korea, the repatriation was carried out promptly.
