South Korean police have arrested a pastor on charges of sexually harassing young North Korean defectors at a boarding school, said the police on Tuesday. The 67-year-old pastor, identified only by his family name Chun, was the boarding school’s principal, reported Yonhap...
For his efforts, Chun was dubbed the “Asian Schindler”, in reference to Oskar Schindler, the German industrialist and member of the Nazi Party who saved at least 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust. Schindler’s story was made into an Oscar-winning movie in 1993.
In July, eight North Koreans, who studied at the boarding school, filed a complaint against Chun, reported KBS World. They alleged that Chun had sexually molested them for years, said the report.The news reports did not state the name of the boarding school. However, in a CNN report in 2019, Chun said that his Christian aid organisation, Durihana, had helped over 1,000 defectors reach Seoul since 1999.
