One of two so-called 'foreign agents' arrested by the authorities as part of the Bersih 2.0 rally dragnet has been deported.

NONE Song Min Young, 24, was flown back to South Korea last night, according to her local sponsor, the National Institute of Electoral Integrity (NIEI).

A spokesperson for the group said Song had arrived in Seoul this morning and will return to Gwangju where she resides.

Song, 24, a Chonnam National University student, was undertaking an internship programme with NIEI, a local elections monitoring outfit.

She was first detained while observing Parti Sosialis Malaysia's (PSM) roadshow in Johor last Saturday as part of her research for NIEI.

Duo released but rearrested

Also detained during the roadshow was Filipino political activist Romeo Castillo, 56, who was a PSM guest in Malaysia for one month.

Castillo is now being held at the Sepang district police headquarters. According to PSM, he is still in detention.
