North Korean defectors shown dragged back across the border from South Korea 

I 'like' how the UN condemns actions they view as wrong but then they don't do anything at all. Every. Single. Time.

It serves them right. Imagine killing 16 innocent fishermen and trying to get protection from the government. Absolutely sickening.

Is it really correct to care about the "rights" of someone who killed 16 other lives in order to get ahead in their life?

He killed 15 innocent fisherman of that country. So he has no right to sit his foot in that country!

He killed his 16 fishermen fellow and the UN only concern his "human rights" ? What about those victim's basic human rights to live and stay alive ? Hypocrite

It's actually heart-warming how South didn't use them for propaganda, but made the fair decision to return the criminals to DPRK

I think the majority here agree that those 2 men deserve that. Most of those people who said they are fighting for Human Rights, are actually nothing more than clowns who care nothing for the actual Human Rights people deserve.

I agree with south Korea. Why on earth would you want a mass killer in your country if you can prevent it? That makes perfect sense to me.

What is there to condemn? Why should South Korea process these criminals? They were North Korean, and they killed *16* people? And sending them back to their country is a violation of human rights?? Wow

Why is human rights always invoked for criminals? This sounds like a legitimate case to extradite. Are all extradition not okay for them or are they hypocrites?

violated men`s rights? of course, like they did when they kills 16 of their shipmates

UN calling it a violation of human rights but proceed to not bat an eye of him killing other 16 shipmates..

He killed 16 men and all they cared about is "his right"? So maybe we should care about the right of the guy who killed shinzo abe

Peoples rights should never be violated, but the second you decide to take innocent life's, you are not a person anymore. Not sure why people fight so much about treating criminals that commit horrendous crimes like normal people! They're not

Not saying this is the case but after watching seaspiracy or something similar, from what I remember workers can be treated as literal slaves when they are on the fishing boats around those waters. There's no one to regulate them when out on sea and they are at mercy to the ones in charge. Anyone that doesn't take orders can be killed and when the boat comes back the captain can just say they accidentally fell off the boat or something.

You lose your human rights when you violated others' rights

They were murderers!! Just sent them to the UN since they are so caring. 🤣

If he was a citizen they had no right deporting him but trial him where he had committed the crime, if he wasn't a citizen then deporting him is the right thing. He murdered 16 people it isn't simple.

The UN has some nerve to call on South Korea for deporting them. What did they expect them to do? At this point, they are nothing more than a joke. An expensive, intrusive and rude joke nobody asked for.

Such a cruel world. It doesn't have to be this way. Man is flawed.

So he killed 16 people and run away to South Korea.....mmmh

While I haven’t yet taken a look at any sources, some have stated that the murders were not in an attempt to defect, rather the North Koreans chose to sail to the south in order to avoid the punishment brought by the DPRK (whether that may involve public execution or the killing of the criminal’s family in this case, I do not know). If this is indeed the case, while unfortunate in the opinion of some, considering the major human rights violations that North Korea is known for (such as the ones previously mentioned), the deportation of these individuals is not unwarranted.

From what I read...3 people killed the boat captain cause the boat captain was being harsh to them...but killed??? That is crime already...not to mention the trio killed other 16 Fisher man just cause they didn't agree what the trio did? That is pure disgusting,so just cause of that the trio killed them all,2 got caught while the duo run away,nasty

“You’re not gonna believe this. They killed 16 Czechoslovakians. Guys were interior decorators.”

They aren’t defectors, they are criminals…

That's the flawed human rights for you. A murderer can get away from death penalty because it's violation without realizing what about the rights of person he killed. Foolish logic. Every action has reaction. It's that simple.

He killed a lot of people , 16 of them. Why give mercy for something rightly punished?

he killed 16 of his ship mates... and they still care bout his rights?

umm I thought they forced an innocent person back to NK. He killed 15 people and SK suddenly "violated" his rights for dragging him back. Nah you do the crime, do the time

All of this happened because of the pro NK left wing former President Moon. NK said 2 fishermen were violent criminals who killed 16 people. They said fishermen fled to SK for fear of punishment. However this is one sided claim by NK. There is no evidence. The territorial clause of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea states that the Republic of Korea shall be the Korean Peninsula and its annexes. In addition, it is stated that North Korea is an illegal group that rejected the legal order of the Republic of Korea and occupied part of the country without permission. In other words, North Koreans also potential South Korean people. If North Koreans express their intention to defect , South Korea must accept if they are murderers. And if it is investigated and found to have committed a crime, they should be punished according to the laws of the Republic of Korea. Everywhere in the world, criminals are punished according to the laws of the country, not banished from the country. However, Moon Jae In forcibly repatriated the two fishermen without proper investigation. The Ministry of Justice also said this was not legally correct, but the Moon Jae In ignored it. The Moon Jae In asked the Defense Ministry to cooperate in repatriating the two fishermen, but it refused. He then contacted the police commandos under the Ministry of Public Administration and Security for help. Police commandos were sent in without knowing what they were doing. Hours after the two fishermen were repatriated, Moon Jae In sent a personal letter to Kim Jong-un asking him to revisit South Korea. He is the worst president in the history of the Republic of Korea.

South Korea, did the right thing. UN needs to seriously stop condemning actions of S.K., without properly understanding the true nature of S.K.’s reason for doing this.

I hate the idea of killing your shipmates just so u can leave to your own interest. But the case looks too rushed to me

They got themselves into a pickle but it was predestined, self-undoing is such a cruel hand to be dealt but karma will inflict upon anyone whose debts must be paid immediately. We should all take heart in the fact that we must and will pay for everything in this world, even if sometimes only through our own deaths. There are still many criminals at large who have committed heinous crimes and they think they are sheltered and free, but make no mistake there is something else awaiting, even if it's not punishment in its human form.

They lost their rights when the took their shipmates rights to life.. an eye for an eye

Excuse me, are we talking about mutiny? That very act of sedition which deserves a death sentence in the US and in many other countries? Are you suggesting that the now-president of South Korea considers it profitable for his country to release into his country people who just killed their 16 fellow fishermen, thus endangering sea traffic around the ship and showing themselves to be highly dangerous criminals?

Fisherman killed 16 shipmates, UN: south korea violated fishermans right. How about the rights of those 16 shipmates that were killed? UN hipocracy to the highest level It's funny how they always side to the criminals

"violating the man's rights" He killed people. He violated his victim's right to live 💀

Every time I hear or read "human rights activists", I just can't help but burst out laughing at the irony of it.

I don’t understand, if they want to leave.. then why not let them? What’s their problem?

This is absolute sickening by UN defending these defector.

Come on South Korea😢. You’re not like your evil twin and you stayed away from becoming a Communist State like your twin.

killed 16 , what do you expect

He should get punishment for killing entire crew

SK said that since 2010 they have over 200 fishermen in and since 2010 they only deported/expelled 2. These two. But the thing is, they are not yet tried, prosecuted nor found guilty by the South Korean judiciary. Fyi, South Korea constitution, defines all North Koreans as South Korean citizens.

SK : Welcome defectors! How did you come here? NK : Killed 16 people otw just to escape. SK: Goodbye

I asked my mom about this and she was super angry at the government. I asked her why, because clearly, to me, they deserve it. Imagine killing 16 other people and trying to pass it off as if your a defector to avoid going to prison. She told me that defectors are labelled as “murderers” in North Korea. Furthermore, she said that South Korea says that every North Korean citizen who comes to the south is automatically a citizen. So she was mad at the government because if they are the south’s citizens, shouldn’t they have been given a proper trial? Shouldn’t the authorities have investigated the case further? I’m absolutely lost idk who to believe now 🤷🏼‍♀️

This title seems super misleading, since it seems that the "defectors" are essentially serial killers who wiped out an entire boat of fishermen barring themselves.

He murdered humans and tried to escape punishment.

I wanna know what PARK YEO-MI is gonna say about this!! This time she ain't gonna blame it on CHINA like what she ALWAYS DOES!

As I know their fate, I am giving them an advance RIP 🎉.

Sorry but anyone who killed 16 innocent deserves any punishment given to them.

If he killed a person then he should face consequences

As a Highfleet System ever said to these South Koreans: **WORLD VIEW: KINDNESS -1**

I think the huge thing people are forgetting here is that these men were most likely tortured after they got sent back. Yes, they’re murderers, but have you considered that in most democratic countries, murderers at the very least go through the legal process and sentenced? They sit to rot in jail or prison. In North Korea, you go through a “legal process” and get tortured and hanged. Your family is also likely to suffer the same fate. Rotting in prison for years is one thing. Having the last few months of your life be purely torture is something entirely different.

How about the rights of the 16 men they killed?

i think all you are ignoring the fact that south korea has prisons and them being sent back to north korea their death sentence wouldn't be about the killings

Killed 16 shipmates ? 😳

Next time this same scenario happens (2 fishermen killing 16 of their own shipmates), send them directly to the UN, and let them live their lives under their care.

It’s hard to blame because we don’t know what he been through in that dictatorial country .

What more human right does he need after killing 16 shipmates?

0:34 And you called it "repatriation"

I understand, but I agree with the commenter who said to send them back (@Welst Nitmere). As seen in the video, these two men killed 15 people in addition to the captain. After killing them, they returned to the shore, but one of the killers was apprehended by North Korean police. The other two men observed this and fled by boat across the border to South Korea. Once there, they reported what they had done to the South Korean police, which resulted in their deportation back to North Korea. dont side with them eventhough They didn't deserve to suffer because the captain treated them so brutally; many more lives don't need to be lost.

Considering South Korea considers North Korea's territory and people there's, why couldn't they try the fishermen under South Korean law without having them deported to the North where they would surely die?

man, UN take the 2 that killed 16 people then. crickets chirping

President Moon had every right to deport the 2 men. They unalived everyone else on their boat and fled to the South. Their rights were not violated and South Korea has done nothing wrong. If they were unalived after being deported then I am sorry for them when it comes to that but again the South did what they had to do to protect everyone.

This one is really difficult and nuanced when you start thinking about it, but I'm glad their new president is looking closer at other possible solutions.

0:13 "killed 16 of his shipmates" How & why? 🤔

Imagine you commit a crime and you are only condemned instead of any legal action or punishment 😂 🤦🏽‍♂️ this joke of an organization.

Classic comment section let’s violate human rights and deport them which killed them just to take revenge Classic, instead of rehabilitate them to be part of society and this also does not include the information in which it could be false

Please save the life of the North Korean old person.

If you killed 16 people, something bad must happen to you too.

They killed 16 shipmates before defecting, what about justice for them?

Dont forget that Hisoka's bungee gum has both properties of gum and rubber!

"What happened to the two men is unknown" C'mon... be serious. You know that they'll be either fed to hungry wild dogs or be used as target practice for antiair artillery guns.

RIP 16 shipmates.

But why is this on South CHINA morning post?

This man's last moments...RIP fisherman

일단 한국에 넘어온 이상 (귀순) 한국인과 같은 대접을 받음. 결과적으로 윤석열 대통령은 한국에서 재판을 해야지 저렇게 넘기는 모습은 절대 동의 할 수 없다라는 생각임. 근데 맞는 말이기도함, 16명을 죽인게 확실 한건지도 모르고

This sounds like a mystery novel of the Lord of the Flies, but on a boat.

Kills dozens of ppl. They still have rights... WTH?!

I have no sympathy for people who don’t have sympathy for lives of others.

"These North Korean defectors are forcibly deported back to North Korea" Me: No! Why??? "They killed 16 ship crew" Me: Ah... well.. carry on then

So, he "killed 16 shipmates" before crossing into South Korea. Well, what did you expect.

What year is this 1969? Or 2022?

I think it's SK's right to repatriate or deport the fishermen. If i were the President, ofcourse i wouldn't want a criminal on loose and become a potential danger to SK citizens lives.

Don’t worry. The US will gladly accept that guy, as long as he would bark at his government.

These "human rights" the UN speaks of, who wrote them and where are they listed?

We don’t know if they actually murdered their co-workers there are many suspicious things.

This are just clips and what people assume what has happen. At the end of the day he could of been a innocent man. We don't know we can't judge a video by its content.

There playing sad music while showing them being dragged I guess to draw sympathy but there killers... They deserve to go back.

It's unclear. The first statement was a "fisherman". At the end, they were 2.

All that's done by UN on time is: condemnation

Human right is for the right Humans

So sad, the north korean defector caught and got sentenced to behead using guliotine

What about the 16 people he killed? What about their rights?

BS these men killed 16 shipmates. How is that not abusing human rights

Desperate people do desperate measures. Killing your own fishermen is wrong but sending them back to be killed is also utterly wrong. If you deemed their behavior dangerous for doing such, the SK government could have given them a chance at life somewhere guided. The Common people should never suffer the conflict between differing Governments. You're historically one nation. It's disappointing to learn about this fisherman if ever the execution was real.

No person who ever leaves a known totalitarian state should ever be forced to return. It is clear to all that doing that condemns that person to death and is a reflection of our own values.

How about the rights of the 16 people who were murdered.

What about the human rights of the 16 other people? Deporting them was a death sentence. But arguably justified.
