SEOUL, March 28 ― The United Nations Human Rights office in Seoul called on North Korea today to confirm the fate and whereabouts of people who have been disappeared under its regime, accusing Pyongyang of violating the rights of the victims and their loved ones for decades.
The report, based on interviews with defectors, former abductees and relatives of victims, details accounts of disappearances, including arbitrary detentions in North Korea and abduction of nationals from South Korea, Japan and other countries. Pyongyang has repeatedly rejected accusations of rights abuses and criticised UN investigations on its situation as a US-backed scheme to interfere with its internal affairs.
“The testimonies from this report demonstrate that entire generations of families have lived with the grief of not knowing the fate of spouses, parents, children and siblings,” Turk said.
