Four South Korean activists were arrested Wednesday on charges of conducting anti-government activities after taking orders from North Korea.
The Seoul Central District Court approved the prosecution's request to detain the four, saying they are a flight risk and could destroy evidence.
The four allegedly established an anti-government organization based in the southeastern city of Changwon in 2016 after receiving orders from North Korean agents in a number of Southeast Asian countries, such as Cambodia.
The activists have since organized anti-U.S. protests and activities in support of North Korea, prosecutors said. (Yonhap)
