"Mr President, I am alarmed by the increasing number of North Korean refugees. It is estimated that there are between 100 000 and 400 000 North Korean refugees worldwide. Many of them have to endure very harsh conditions, fearing for their lives or for the lives of those whom they have left behind. We are worried about the treatment to which ‘illegal’ economic immigrants are subjected on Chinese territory. They are, in fact, political refugees. We cannot approve of the Chinese Government’s decision from March 2012 to repatriate North Korean refugees by force. There is evidence that such repatriations lead to torture and imprisonment. Therefore, we call on the Chinese Government to meet the obligations it has undertaken, especially those regarding the status of refugees and the 1984 Convention against Torture, and stop all forced repatriations."@en1
