1. The first paragraph of a news article should answer the questions who, what, where and when. List the who, what, where and when of this news item. (NOTE: The remainder of a news article provides details on the why and/or how.

2. a) What is Free Joseon?

5. On March 12, Korea’s Chosunilbo News reported:

“An anti-North Korean slogan was found sprayed on the wall of the North Korean Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia early Monday morning. It read, "Down with Kim Jong-un" and "Free North Korea... we are rising up!"

On another side of the wall was the logo of "Free Joseon," the group believed to have rescued the son of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's half-brother from the North's assassination squads. …

On March 1, Cheollima Civil Defense changed its name to Free Joseon and declared itself the provisional government of North Korea.

The graffiti was sprayed on the day of the release of Siti Aisyah, one of the women who had been hired by North Korean agents to carry out the murder of Kim Jong Un’s half-brother Kim Jong-nam's at Kuala Lumpur airport.

On its own website on Monday morning (March 11), Free Joseon posted a piece headlined, "Courage in Kuala Lumpur," saying, "We're lonely now when we're longing for freedom quietly. But we'll meet one by one through courage."

President Trump has been negotiating with Kim Jong Un to eliminate his nuclear weapons program. The timing of Free Joseon’s confiscation of computers from the North Korean Embassy was not ideal. Some news outlets used the words “storming,” “beating,” “brazen raid,” “masked assailants” to describe the infiltration. Free Joseon says they were invited into the embassy. They most likely did somehow trick the guards to gain entrance. It is highly unlikely that they stormed the embassy and beat up the workers. North Korea must save face by lying about what actually occurred - the result being that their computers with potentially sensitive information were stolen.

a) What do you think the U.S. should do? - extradite the men to Spain? refuse to do so? Would the men be safe from North Korean operatives in Spain? Would not doing so harm U.S. success with North Korea’s nuke program?
[Note: Last week the North demanded U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo be removed from negotiations (because he won’t back down or cave to their demands). They also tested a missile after pledging not to do so. The regime has counterfeited U.S. dollars, starved millions of its own people, put 100,000 or more in concentration camps, among other things.]

b) How would you describe the members of Free Joseon?
