Jan 14, 2008: JMS Cultists Break into Newspaper Office
The Donga-A Ilbo newspaper reported on January 15 that on Monday January 14, JMS cultists broke into their Seoul office and demanded the removal of articles critical of their leader Jeong Myeong-seok. The article states Jeong was hiding in China at the time, but that was incorrect. Jeong was arrested in China in early May 2007 and China approved his extradition on January 2, 2008.
