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.

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.

How ironic that this crackdown has intensified because of China's concerns over the upcoming Olympic Games.

China cannot risk the world community seeing with their own eyes China's horrific treatment of the North Koreans, so they hope to eliminate the problem by forcing them back to face torture and imprisonment and even execution for fleeing their homeland.
