China has already sent back several of the North Korean defectors who were
recently arrested there, despite pleas from Seoul and international human rights
groups, sources said Thursday.
The source said nine defectors who had
crossed the Duman (or Tumen) River into China in early February were repatriated
last weekend and have since been under investigation by security forces in
Onsong, North Hamgyong Province. They were reportedly while traveling to
Changchun from Yanji headed for South Korea.
It is unclear how many
defectors are facing repatriation as there is wide discrepancy between sources.
According to defectors' group North Korea Intellectuals Solidarity, three
defectors were arrested on a train bound for Changchun last Friday and
repatriated on Monday.
"Security forces and senior party officials are
intimidating and threatening their families. Rumors are spreading that they will
be executed to set an example," the group added.
According to sources in
China, about 200 defectors were caught by Chinese police and face
repatriation.
What do you think about this problem? In my opinion, China shouldn't have done like that. It's certain that N.Korean defectors repatriated forcefully by China are absolutely executed. Most of them carry out an escape from N.Korea with high risk.
As you know, China is the solidest alliance of North Korea. What China did isn't proper and doesn't live up to its status as an true alliance and advanced country. The world countries should prevent China from doing this inhumane acts.
