A group of 30 women activists have crossed the demilitarized zone (DMZ) separating North and South Korea in an attempt to promote peace.
Led by American feminist Gloria Steinem, the group rode by bus over the DMZ from the North to the South.
But they were prevented from walking on foot through the abandoned village of Panmunjom, where the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean war was signed.
The activists have faced criticism for spending several days in Pyongyang.
Critics said the women had allowed themselves to become propaganda tools by the North, after they refused to directly criticise the Pyongyang authorities over its human rights recorD.
