LONDON, UK (ANS) -- Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), a UK-based human rights group, is concerned about the welfare of Kim Young Hwan, a South Korean activist working for democracy and human rights in North Korea, and three of his colleagues, after they were arrested in China on March, 29, 2012, and has called upon the Chinese authorities to release them.

“Kim Young Hwan entered China on 23 March 23, 2012,” said a CSW spokesperson. “A week later, after losing contact with him, his family reported him missing to the South Korean Foreign Ministry. South Korean officials discovered that on March 29, 2012, he had been arrested by the Chinese authorities along with three of his colleagues whilst visiting Liaoning Province, on the border with North Korea.”"
