RISK OF FORCIBLE RETURN (CHINA: UA 253.17)

FROM AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, URGENT ACTION:
"Lee Su-jung (name being used in China, aged 24) and her son (aged 4) are currently in detention in Shenyang, China, along with 8 other North Koreans. If forcibly returned, they are at risk of persecution or other serious human rights violations, such as arbitrary detention, torture or other ill-treatment and possibly execution.

1) TAKE ACTION

Write a letter, send an email, call, fax or tweet:

Stop the forced return of any person to North Korea, including Lee Su-jung and her son;
Grant refugee status to those North Koreans who are entitled to it, give them immediate access to UNHCR or allow them to travel to South Korea or other countries to seek asylum;
Ensure Lee Su-jung, her son and the other eight North Koreans in the group are protected from torture and other ill-treatment while in detention and have prompt access to legal counsel of their choosing and any necessary medical treatment.

According to Amnesty International, Lee Su-jun and her son have now been forcibly returned. Amnesty's website is requesting letters to North Korea concerning their whereabouts and asking that they be released.

On no. Tragic.

Thanks for updating us on this. I am usually on the AI website most days, but somehow missed this update.
