A North Korean woman accused in a sensational espionage case involving sex and poisoned needles was sentenced Wednesday by a South Korean court to five years in prison.
Won Jeong Hwa arrives at the Suwon District Court in Suwon, South Korea on Wednesday.
Won Jeong Hwa was arrested in July on charges of passing classified information to the North, including the locations of key military installations, lists of North Korean defectors and personal information on South Korean military officers.
Prosecutors alleged Won used "sex as a tool" for her mission, dating a South Korean army officer and making him work for her. Investigators have also said she plotted to assassinate South Korean intelligence agents with poison needles, but did not carry out the plan.
Hmm. how far is too far when it comes to seeking top secret information for your country?!
that's James Bonds status. Sleeping around to get into the system. This is not good for South Korea though. There have been suspicions of an invansion from the North do to the suffering of it people since there is a lack of food.
i think that when it comes to espionage, you need a person that is willing to do ANYTHING to get the info they need, even if it means cozying up to some weirdo military officer with eccentric tastes. So i think she was on the right track, just got caught in the act i suppose
Hey, if you believe in something that strongly and that passionate about it amen to you~, however i do believe as a normal person it is pretty ridiculous that she was planning to assassinate someone with poison needles, thats pretty absurd.
wow this just says how willing people are to do anything for their country... sleeping around with people to get info is pretty crazy... i'd say thats pretty patriotic
I don't know why but 5 years just seems like a really low sentance if she actually did do all that and was planning to kill someone. But yeah i totally agree with the wicks on this one.
