In 1989, Suh founded a California-based organization, Wheat Mission Ministries.[1] In 2005, Wheat Mission Ministries formally established itself as a non-profit organization.[2]The organization provides food aid and medical technology to North Korea.[1] The Korean Central News Agency said that Suh had frequently visited North Korea over the past 20 years.[1]
Deportation[edit]
On 8 April 2015,[3] Suh was deported "on charges of using her humanitarian status as a cover to gather and produce anti-Pyongyang propaganda", visiting "under the pretense of humanitarianism",[1] and "secretly taken photos and produced videos that had then been used as "propaganda abroad".[4] KCNA said "the decision to deport rather than detain her had been made "taking into full consideration her old age"".[1][5]
As of 9 April 2015, US Department of State spokeswoman Marie Harf could not tell why Suh was deported.[6]
