Park legal team continues to link her fall to North Korea

Secrecy behind Sewol ferry disaster's "7 missing hours" due to N.Korean threat: Park's attorneys

The high level of secrecy about President Park Geun-hye’s whereabouts during the infamous “seven missing hours” on the day of Sewol ferry disaster in April 2014 was due to worry over possible threats by North Korea, her legal team said on Tuesday.

This is the second time this month that the impeached President's legal representation has linked her fall with North Korea. The first came last week, when one of Park's attorneys accused "followers of Juche ideology" of being behind the protests against her.
