💨 Abstract

A Russian court has rejected an appeal to release a South Korean citizen, Baek Won-soon, on espionage charges, extending his pre-trial detention until November 15. Baek, a missionary and head of a South Korean aid group's operations in Vladivostok, denies the accusations and claims to be suffering from health problems. Relations between Russia and South Korea have been strained due to Moscow's ties with North Korea.
