SEOUL : Eleven North Koreans seeking to defect to South Korea have been detained in Vietnam since Nov 23, and are requesting help to avoid being repatriated, a South Korean activist group said on Monday .
Peter Jung, the head of the group, which supports North Korean asylum-seekers, said the would-be defectors had requested help from the South Korean embassy in Hanoi, but he had not heard from them since Friday. South Korea's foreign ministry said it was aware of the case and had been in touch with the Vietnamese government to try to prevent the defectors from being sent back to North Korea.
Last month South Korea expelled two North Korean fishermen suspected of killing 16 colleagues before crossing the border into the South, after detaining them for questioning.
