South Korea’s Presidential Office on Sunday denounced the repatriation of two North Korean fishermen in 2019 as an “act against humanity” by the previous government and pledged to investigate the case.

“President Yoon Suk-yeol’s office will reveal the substantive truth behind the [previous government’s] act against humanity and take all measures to prevent its recurrence,” the office said in a statement.
