North Korean defector: My life could end instantly

A North Korean defector, who now lives in South Korea, says fears for her safety and says her "life could end instantly."

Hyeonseo Lee grew up in North Korea but escaped to China in 1997 where she hid for 10 years. She moved to Seoul, South Korea, in 2008.

"Every day, I see a police car on the street, I am very scared, I think they are coming for me."

Hyeonseo has written a book called 'The Girl With Seven Names', based on the number of times she has switched identity since defecting.
