STORYLINE

Shouting "Long live national reunification," a South Korean activist who spent more than three months in North Korea without his government's approval stepped over the line dividing the North and South, and was promptly arrested on Thursday.

The stunt by No Su-hui, 68, was designed to draw attention to the division of the Korean Peninsula.

He had gone to Pyongyang from China in March without Seoul's permission, defying a law that prohibits South Koreans from travelling to North Korea without government approval, officials in Seoul said.

He was arrested immediately after his return, police in Seoul said.

Associated Press video showed South Korean officials in suits grabbing a defiant and resistant No just after he stepped over the demarcation line inside the Demilitarised Zone as South Korean soldiers snapped photographs at close distance.

On the other side of the border, soldiers and officials stood watching the melee as crowds of North Koreans waved white "unified Korea" flags.

Turning around to face crowds of cheering North Koreans before stepping over the line, No raised his arms and shouted "Long live national reunification, by our nation itself," a white unified Korea flag in his right hand and a bouquet of flowers in his left.

No serves as vice chairman of South Korea's Pan-Alliance for Korea's Reunification.

Most tourists must enter and exit North Korea via China.
