19 South Koreans return home after release from Taliban captivity

September 2, 2007

Nineteen South Korean Christians are released from after being held captive for six weeks. The 19 South Koreans return to a nation that is glad the situation has been resolved and is over. However, they also face a country that is angry with their decision to travel to Afghanistan despite the Afghan government advising them not to.

One South Korean man was reportedly stopped by the police when he attempted to hurl eggs at the freed Christians. The South Korean people are demanding to know who is to blame for the crisis and damaging South Korea's reputation.

The South Korean government promised to send no more Christian into the country.
