N.Korea refuses to let S.Korea see detained worker

North Korea refused to give Seoul officials access to a detained South Korean worker when the two sides met Tuesday for their first talks in over a year, Yonhap news agency reported.

The employee at the Kaesong joint industrial complex was detained on March 30 for allegedly criticising the North’s communist system and for trying to persuade a female North Korean worker to defect.

South Korean officials at the talks in Kaesong, just north of the border, had demanded to be given access to him.
