U.N. envoy urges China not to deport N. Korean defectors
By Kim Boram
SEOUL, Oct. 29 (Yonhap) -- A U.N. human rights envoy Wednesday called on China to stop sending back North Korean defectors to their communist homeland and accused the Chinese government of paying rewards for the successful arrest and deportation of North Korean asylum seekers.
"This (dislocation of North Korean defectors) is compounded by human trafficking and smuggling which often prey on those who are already vulnerable," said Vitit Muntarbhorn, a U.N. Special Rapporteur on North Korean human rights, at an international symposium arranged here by South Korea's Human Rights Commission.
