Yonah Martin and South Korean Citizenship

pariah state: Or she may not, according to The Waterloo Record. That just one more secret of the world pariah state. Yonah Martin may have a living, breathing cousin. Before she was born and before the Korean War that split the country along the 38th parallel, Martin father fled southward, but he left behind a sister unable to travel. The few defectors who actually escape are automatically granted South Korean citizenship. She was nine months pregnant. "We don't know what happened to them," Martin recalled Monday. "Because of the armistice and the war that technically continues to this day, I have no way for knowing if my family survived." That personal connection infused Martin work in preparing a Senate report, released Monday, that calls on the government to do more to help North Korea defectors, who are caught in an international legal limbo.
