Please remember the International Protest Against China's Violent
Treatment of North Korean Refugees will be occurring around the
world at noon on November 30 and December 1 at Chinese consulates
and embassies.
We need everyone to join and support these events
as the situation in China is worse than ever for North Korean
refugees.
Some cities will deliver petitions, some will stage
protests and demonstrations. Wherever you are in the world,
please take part in this effort.
For several years both the Chinese and North Korean authorities
have implemented measures to close the border and currently the
Chinese authorities are working more aggressively with North
Korean agents to hunt down and repatriate the North Korean refugees.
We have heard several reports that North Korean agents are posing
as refugees to draw out both humanitarian workers and true refugees
as part of this escalating crackdown.
Even refugees in jail are
being used as "bait" to draw out potential rescuers,
so that Chinese authorities can arrest them.

read the full report, go here.
