South Korea’s leading dissident, Kim Dae Jung, has again been placed under house arrest. The purpose, aides said, was to prevent him from attending a meeting of the political opposition aimed at promoting electoral reforms.

A five-member U.S. delegation observing the campaign is scheduled to attend the ceremony today.
