Lee Rae-jin, the older brother of a South Korean fisheries official shot dead by the North Korean military, and lawmakers get into the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, in Seoul.SEOUL: The United Nations Human Rights office in South Korea called on Tuesday for an impartial investigation into the killing of a fisheries official by North Korean troops at sea last month, as the man's family urged the UN to conduct its own probe.
Lee's brother, Lee Rae-jin, told reporters outside the Seoul office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights that he wanted to expose North Korea's"atrocities" and ask for a"fair and objective investigation" by the UN. Lee Dae-jun's teenage son wrote a letter to South Korean President Moon Jae-in accusing the government of failing to save his father's life.
South Korea has accused the North of dousing Lee's body in fuel and setting it on fire in an effort to prevent any possible coronavirus infections. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un offered an apology for the killing, but Pyongyang denied it burned his body and has not responded to Seoul's call for a joint probe.
