[KS] Korea's People Smugglers (Assignment, BBC World Service radio)

[Afostercarter at aol.com]

I'd just like to commend this excellent  programme,
rather belatedly. You can still listen again, at  least
in the UK, on the links below - I think until July  18.
 
Or you can download an mp3, hopefully wherever
you are in the world. It lasts half an hour.
 
The article linked to below is a useful summary.
 
Kind regards

SYNOPSIS

 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/images/episode/p00hm8z3_640_360.jpg) 
Defecting from North Korea is a dangerous  business. 
It comes at a high price and there's no guarantee of  success. 
Many make the journey to South Korea with the help of  brokers - 
individuals and organisations who smuggle people along the illegal  overland route 
known as the "Underground  Railroad". 
For Assignment, Lucy Williamson meets some of the  brokers in Seoul who 
make a living helping people escape North  Korea.
