"There was a golden window, of six hours, to rescue him in which the South Korean intelligence authorities were observing what was happening and no measures were taken to save him. And while my brother is accused of wanting to defect, the authorities seem to have confidence in the version of events that North Korea tells and all this makes my brother a criminal (trying to defect to the North is a crime in the South).
