South Korean Captain Testifies in Chinese Immigrant Smuggling Case
Capt. Kim Chong Un 37 testified he never took a vessel to a foreign port before and worked near home due to family problems. He and eight crew members face charges over 131 Chinese migrants landed on a Queen Charlotte Islands shore last August as part of a wider case involving four ships attempting to smuggle about 600 migrants into Canada. He claimed his ship was hijacked by 20 to 30 men armed with knives and pipes steering a two month 19000 kilometer voyage to China and Canada under threats to his crew and families.
