NKoreans with religious ties face peril
The AP reports on the Boston Globe:
A federal commission said Tuesday that North Korean refugees suspected of meeting with religious groups in China are often marked for harsh interrogation, torture and long detention without trial after Beijing forces them to return to the North.
A report by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom called for nations to press China to stop repatriating the refugees. The commission was created in 1998 to monitor religious freedom around the world and make policy recommendations.
