Two Koreans are detained in Libya for proselytization, which is illegal in the Islam country, the local JoongAng Ilbo newspaper said on Saturday, citing a diplomatic source.

One of them, a Christian missionary, identified as Koh, has been detained since about a month ago, while another, identified as Joo, was arrested last week, it said.

The diplomatic source said Koh was a well-known figure in the Korean community in Tripoli, the nation’s capital.

Joo, a businessman who owns a farm there, has been known to finance Koh’s missionary work, it said.

The news didn’t elaborate on whether and when the two will be subject to judicial hearing for their reported violation of the local law.
