How did Kim Jong Un's nephew escape North Korea, and who is the mysterious group that helped him?

Christopher Ahn puts a foot on his home table in Los Angeles and shows his guest the electronic device monitoring the move when you're on probation. This surveillance device, located on the left side of a Pacific-looking Marine Corps veteran, means a lot. It is the symbol of crime-changing activism, the dark side of good intentions, all smoke surrounding operations involving North Korea. Christopher Ahn's guest is Max Boot, a conservative intellectual and historian born in the Soviet Union and then raised in California, who after that wrote a strong appeal at the “Post” signed along with Sue Mi Terry, former CIA agent, North Korean superiors, and now Senior Felloe at Center for Strategic and International Studies. Apel reads a lot like this: Someone in the Biden administration has to do something to prevent this former Marine from being punished or worse: become the target of Kim Jong Un ganggos.

A former American soldier of Korean origin in house arrest, assisted in pro-bonds by a team of lawyers, all of Asian origin, very high-level. A European state, Spain, asks for extradition to be tried: charged with 6 crimes, including kidnapping, violent kidnapping and intimidation, threats and organised criminality. The co-operative diplomat network, the one who actually advances the economic interests of the world's most sanctioned, lame and frightened country. A diplomat fleeing London, another suddenly disappearing in Rome. Brother for the father of the leader killed at Kuala Lumpur Airport and his son resurfaced in a video. It is all seemingly distant news that is mysteriously connected only long thereafter, force and sensational action accompanied by seemingly insignificant events. Then, too, black intelligence holes, diplomatic clashes, missing and resurfaced characters, such as in spying movies.

In 2017 the genus had begun filling the front pages of international newspapers because of the military provocations and attitude of then American President Donald Trump, who had decided to transform North Korea to where it could show its muscles. In the bow of two years, we are again forced to speak of leader Kim Jong Un, but for the opposite reason: opening, dialogue, diplomatic work between Washington, Seoul and jinn. Then, after the failure of the last summit between America and North Korea, Hano's of February 2019 has no longer come important political news from the 38th Paraele: the pandemic has distracted the rest of the world, and, out of fear of infection (and reputation), the genan has increased the level of protection of its borders, and the already difficult flow of foreigners within its territory has practically been resounded.

Yet, it is all that happens when we are confused by the next one that contributes to the most important news about North Korea. This is not a movie. It's about my life”, Christopher Ahn told the South Korean newspaper “Kukmin Ilbo”, who went to his house in Los Angeles and did an interview that lasted around 7-x5>. On May 25th, it will be the final decision of the American judge who has followed his extradition process in Spain. Ahn is the only interrogator in one of the weirdest relatives ever dealing with North Korea in Europe.

It's February 22nd, 2019. At 16 and 34 minutes, a man named No. 43 of the Via Dario Aparcio in Madrid is cytophony. It's the headquarters of the Korean Embassy in Spain, an extremely important place for the Phensy leadership, after Madrid North Korea has numerous interests before all, a Spanish citizen named Alejandro Cao de Benós, founder of Korea Friendsship Association, a kind of Western ambassador of Puerto Rican traumas to Europe. The quote is Adrian Hong Chang, Mexican nationals of Korean origin in the United States. It's represented as Matthee Chao, says you want to meet a trade attaché Yun Suk So, responsible for a company called Baron Stone Capital and who wants to do business with jinn. He had met Soo 15 days earlier, and according to various evidence he had been refused without further appointment. Adrian Hong, allis Matthee Chao, was now back to take “dored a gift”.

The embassy's official leaves the door, goes to look for his own epoon and, in the bow of a few minutes, Adrian Hong puts a group of hooded men in the building's head, according to the long reconstruction that has made the case of Spanish Judge José de la Mata Amaya, well known in Spain by various issues turned into many mediatics, all over 11. The group goes inside the Korean Embassy building and what happened is not yet clear. According to evidence from the Korean staff, his wife and 8-year-old son have been confined to a room controlled by one of the attackers for the next four hours. Four other diplomats put hoods on their heads and cuff themselves in the embassy's attic, Yun Suk So sent to the basement. About an hour after the group's entry, a woman manages to get out of the window, steps down the street, and calls for help.

Neighbors call on the police, who have recently reached their wife in the arch but fail to communicate among themselves: Spanish rule forces do not have Korean translators, seeking to understand the shocking words of her mental health online. In doubt, the police, who by law cannot go inside an embassy, play quote and answer Adrian Hong: “Everything goes well”. Yun Suk Soo is still in the basement and, according to what was shown to the police by him, the attackers wanted to desert: “I became ambassador to the new North Korean government”. But nothing goes according to the prediction. Yun Suk Soo resists (according to American protection, for some reason, without warning his “surveyors”, changes his mind: he no longer wants to desert, and so the group decides to abandon the operation. They remove all electronic devices, board embassy cars, those with diplomatic license plates and run away.

Outside the police can't stop them. Cars will be abandoned a few hours later outside Madrid. The images of the embassy's footage film Christopher Ahn's face just before he entered the embassy. At a first moment, Spanish police are thinking of an assault with spying motives: Korean Ambassador to Madrid named Kim Hyok Chol. In 2017, like many other ambassadors in Europe, including him in Rome, he was expelled from the country in response to Korean missile and nuclear provocations. Shortly thereafter, Kim Hyok Chol has become one of the key people of the treaty regarding de-lealation between America and North Korea (as soon as after the summit's failure in Hanoi, the international press had declared him dead, but it is actually as fat as apple beans).

In short: Kim's a man who knows a bag of things and knew them even in front of Spain's expulsions. Phenani calls the attack in Madrid “a terrorist attack”. Three days later, a communique video appears on YouTube: Free Joseon group takes over the operation, but denies there was any violence. Above all, from another version of the facts: it was Yun Suk So who called you after wanting to desert, and wanted it to look like a kidnapping to avoid having his family in North Korea suffer repressions from his decision. A Korean man can read between lines: They all know Free Joseon (Joseo is the ancient kingdom of Korea).

There's a radical group, there are people who can be called fanatics, even heroes, in your view”, said Andrei Lankov, analyst among Korea's most important, for the “The Guardian” a short time ago. Free Joseon is born in California, the large Korean community of the West Coast of the United States. They're shown online for the first time on an extremely dark website and another name, The Civil Defension (Ceocle is the winged horse of North Korean mythologyic tradition).

On February 13, 2017 Kim Jong Nam, father of leader Kim Jong Un who lived in Macao, China, is killed with nervous gas in the middle of Kuala Lumpur's populated airport. Koreans are the first indictees. Two days later Kim Han Sol, a 1995 birthday, Kim Jong Nam's son, appears in a video message on his YouTube channel: shows his passport to confirm his identity, says he has escaped with his family and is in a safe place thanks to “Chris”, that is Christopher Ahn, and Adrian Hong, the one who would later realise he is the leader of Free Joseon.

Christopher Ahn and Adrian Hong were known in 2009 at a San Diego bar. Their story has been rebuilt by Suki Kim, the journalist who, on November 23, 2020, published a very long article in “New Yorker”, so far the only one who has gathered the testimony of Adrian Hong, who lives on the run after being requested by American, Spanish and, of course, Korean authorities. One of the most famous North Korean activists in 2004 Hong Founds LiNK Liberty in North Korea, an association that still helps Korean deserters to build a life outside the regime. It makes a name within George W. Bush and then Barack Obama, but a few years later he leaves everything, changes his phone number and decides to do the “something more significant”.

Increasing people's awareness through university lectures, tours, concerts and candy sales wasn't enough”, Hong told journalist Suki Kim. ““Saving refugees through underground work in China and the Asian southeast was not enough. Seeking to convince governments to change their policies to do the right thing was not enough. Thus, what remained was direct action”. In 2010, Adrian gives life to the Civil Protection Challenge, but does not disclose the existence of”, reads “New Yorker”.

Action begins. Free Joseon/Cheofing out of the Korean gaidsult. They recruit experts, elite members, activists and especially Korean survivors who escaped from the regime, willing to do everything to save others like them. Days after the embassy attack in Madrid, an anonymous publisher published an article in “Fox News”: “on February 22, 2019, I was inside the Korean Embassy in Madrid. I'm a Korean refugee. Having been orphaned since I was a child, I have encountered hunger every day and have fled to China alone before being arrested, repatriated, and sentenced to forced labor and hunger in an exile camp. Then I managed to escape again, this time to freedom and with refugee status in a free country. When I learned about the existence of the Korean dissident group Provisional Government of Free Joseon I am flooded with joy and relief. Finally, there were people who felt the responsibility of stopping crimes against humanity committed in my homeland”.

Adrian Hong knows Kim Han Sol and when the boy, hours after his father's assassination in February 2017, realizes that he, his sister, and his mother are in danger, calls Adrian. The next day Christopher Ahn meets the Kim family at Taipei Airport, while from the United States Adrian seeks to find a place to welcome prominent refugees. After 18 hours, he buys all the plane tickets for Amsterdam, but they stop at the dish. Two CIA agents coming in to talk to Han Sol and, after Adrian's instructions, Chris records the video for YouTube, then agree to take a new flight to Holland. From then on, as Adrian Hong told journalist Suki Kim, they lost track of Kim Jong Un's closest relatives. Often Free Joseon has been accused of being the CIA's armed arm for dirty work, but a connection they deny.

But there's another event, maybe even more mysterious, and it's about Italy. A November 2018 morning, Italy's top North Korean diplomat leaves his embassy building with his wife. His colleagues tell them he's going for a walk. On the contrary, the couple get into a car near her and do not return. Towards the escape vehicle that day there was a member of the clan group called Free Joseon”. So begins the reconstruction of Bradley Hope, John Lyons and Alastair Gale published in <x2 Wall Street Journal” a year ago. Before Madrid, the Free Joseon had “goditur” in Rome, at Viale dellésperanto No. Twenty-six, in the isolated neighborhood of the Eur area.

Jo Song Gil had been acting as ambassador since October 2017 Farnesina, then headed by Angelino Alfano, had decided not to accredit the new ambassador appointed by North Korea to Italy. No. It was very active in the Italian community doing business with North Korea, but its disappearance, seen in the early days of 2019, had caused the Italian government a lot of stubbornness. South Korean newspapers wrote that Jo had asked Italy for protection without taking it (a request that “does not result” Farnesine.

A few weeks later it was learned that his daughter, a 17-year-old minority, was repatriated to North Korea. Farnesina, then led by Enzo Moavero Milanesi, had announced that “The Korean Foreign Ministry has informed him Italian that former Labour Charger Jo Song Gil and his wife left the embassy on November 10th, and that her daughter, seeking to return to her country to her grandparents, had returned on November 14th 2018, accompanied by female staff of the 111x> embassy. An announcement, but no further investigation. According to the subsequent reconstruction, it is possible that 17-year-old girl really wanted to return to North Korea or that the Free Joseon group had not managed to get away in time.

Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs Manlio Di Stefano had spoken up for a “apher Shalabayeva”, promising: “Who has the responsibility will pay. Make sure that”. The populist trend was, of course, to Italian and foreign secret services operations in the territory, Deep State, the Reptilians. The protection of Jo Song Gil's daughter was not provided by Italian institutions, but not by the diplomat himself: according to South Korean intelligence, Jo Song Gil has managed to go to South Korea in July 2019 alone, and during these seven months, there is the possibility of Free Joseon's help, had sought protection in Italy and “in a third country of”. For a long time, he and his wife have been sheltered in “to a secure” in Italy.

Now we know say for sure that after Jo Song Gil escaped to Rome there were Christopher Ahn and Adrian Hong. According to analysts familiar to the American media during these days, it is difficult for the United States to decide to extradite Ahn to Spain, where it endangers up to 24 years in prison, but, as Max Boot wrote, especially risks meeting the “death squads” of Kim Jong Un. The problem is that all of the Spanish prosecutors' accuser is based on the evidence of North Koreans, and it's also about the fact that support groups for Free Joseon included a website, “Free Freedom Free Joseon” (Wreefj.is). On the other hand, the major enemy of the Korean regime at the moment is a group of activists with military methods operating at the border with legitimacy. All good motives for being preoccupied./Theme/
