On the 29th, ICNK Secretariat hosted a press conference to release the Opinion of the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention. It found that the detention of the Daughter of Tongyeong, Shin Sookk Ja, and her daughters has been and is arbitrary and that by detaining them North Korea is in violation of Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. This development marks a step closer to justice for Oh Kil Nam who has been fighting for his family's freedom for thirty years. It is not expected that North Korea will respond to this latest news however it sends an important message to the rest of the world that North Korea is under investigation.
