Innocent North Korean refugees, some of which are our friends and family, are at risk of execution if repatriated to North Korea.

This case is important because it is the first arrest of North Korean refugees in China after Kim Jung-il's death. Kim Jung-un, the son of Kim Jung-il and NK's current leader, declared that refugees who flee North Korea during the 100-day mourning period of his father's death would be annihilated along with their families. 30 have been caught and sent back to North Korea, but many more lives are at risk -- North Koreans that are caught trying to defect are faced with the cruelest death sentence, often preceded by a long process of torture or excruciating labor. This is because the North Korean government perceives defectors as the number one threat to their authority.

If the international community, especially China, doesn’t take a strong stance on saving North Korean refugees once and for all, they are guilty of supporting the death of thousands of innocent lives. China has the power and opportunity to rewrite history and stop one of the greatest atrocities of our time -- on behalf of our friends and family, we plea, please help #SaveMyFriend!

30 North Korean already repatriated.

The news are reporting that China has repatriated the 30 Refugees.

It seems China has done this to in fear that if this issue get more attention,

it will have to face with harsher consequences.

In other words, they want to silence us.

However we will continue to Cry Out for the thirty who are, as we speak, most likely being tortured.

We will cry out because that is the only thing we can do. We will continue to be voice for the other several hundred North Koreans in China who are in prison waiting to be deported. We will continue to raise awareness for the several tens of thousands of North Koreans who have escaped to China in search for food and freedom. Dear China, Please help us save our friends..

Friends of the Thirty One.. Continue your plea and hollering through all mediums so that something like this never happens again...
