If the authorities make public the fate of the women and take an appropriate step through lawyers, the suspicion about them would quickly disappear, but they continue turning a deaf ear to the matter and the suspicion increases and international uproar mounts, the director said, stressing the need to let the north Korean women meet their family members.

Meanwhile, more than 30 organizations including the above-said human rights center and the committee for reunification of the Bar Association for Democratic Society formed the measure council for guaranteeing human rights of north Korean women employees on July 26.

The measure council declared that it would move to probe the truth behind the abduction of north Korean women, prevent human rights abuses, etc.
