N. Korean asylum-seekers leave China Five of the 29 North Korean defectors who sought asylum in a Japanese school in Beijing on Sept. 1 left China on Sept. 24 for a third country, according to Japanese Embassy officials. While the officials did not specify the destination, a source close to the South Korean Embassy said the four women and one man would end their journey in South Korea through the third country, believed to be the Philippines. China allowed the five, who have health problems, to leave the country on humanitarian grounds, according to the embassy officials. The 11 men, 15 women and three children have been staying at the Japanese Embassy, after being moved from the school.
