- Description of disappearance
- The source submits that Ms. Kang’s and her son’s detention is linked to the activities of Ms. Kang’s brother since his defection, and to the fact that he was regularly sending money to assist Ms. Kang and her family. Ms. Kang’s brother is reportedly a famous dissident working as a reporter for The Chosun Ilbo, a major newspaper in South Korea. Ms. Kang’s brother had allegedly sent her money through a Korean-Chinese broker sine early 2008. However, in July 2011, the broker contacted Mr. Kang and said that he could not find Ms. Kang.
