Description
South Korean attorneys representing three Russian asylum seekers, who have been stranded at an airport for many months, react to a court ruling on their right to apply for refugee status.
The Incheon District Court on Tuesday granted two Russian asylum seekers the right to apply, allowing them to enter the country, but rejected one other Russian national's plea.
"It's unfortunate to inform you that we only had a partial win," says attorney Lee Jong-chan, who represents the three Russians.
"These are people who have come all this way, seeking refuge to avoid killing innocent people." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
