What's different a year after the wildfires? | SaltWire #novascotia #firefighting #wildfires #newsWASHINGTON - The senior U.S. official for North Korea discussed the country with her Chinese counterpart in Tokyo on Thursday, and expressed concerns about the forcible repatriation of North Koreans from China, the U.S. State Department said.
"She also expressed continued U.S. concerns regarding the forcible repatriation of North Koreans, including asylum seekers, to the DPRK and called on Beijing to uphold its non-refoulement obligations," the statement, said, referring to North Korea by the initials of its official name. A South Korea-based human rights group reported in December that up to 600 North Koreans had"vanished" after being forcibly deported by China and warned they may face imprisonment, torture, sexual violence and execution in North Korea.
Beijing's foreign ministry said in October there were no North Korean"defectors" in China but North Koreans had illegally entered for economic reasons and that China always handled the issue according to the law.
