In this day and age, it is unthinkable that there are people who:

Are sent to concentration camps because their relative tuned into a foreign radio broadcast, or said something critical of the government.


Children who:

-Are orphaned and live in the street because their parents died of starvation.

-Pick food crumbs and old fish bones off the muddy ground. Right next to them bags of international food aid, that is meant for these same children, is instead being sold in the open.

-Sleep outside the train station covered in ashes from the train engine, so they can stay warm.


There are concentration camps that rival those of Stalin or Hitler that:

-do not allow even close to a minimum level of nutrition

-work malnourished people for up to 16 hours hard labor a day

-rape, beat, and execute prisoners regularly without accountability

-put prisoners into 5 x 5 cells for extended periods of time as punishment where they cannot move or stretch, often leaving them permanently disabled

-condemn up to 20% of the population per year to death


Also, North Koreans:

-Do not have adequate food, and many are in stages of acute starvation - yet their government restricts their right to forage for food by limiting their movement with strict travel controls.

-There are repeated accounts of cannibalism due to the desperation for food.

-Defectors to China to find freedom and food are hunted down by the Chinese government and rather than being given refugee status as per international agreements.

-They are repatriated to North Korea and either sent to a concentration camp or executed.


The North Korean Human Rights Act would make human rights in North Korea a national priority. It would send information (radios and broadcasts) into this closed country so they could see that the people of the world haven't forgotten them in their suffering. And it would give aid to refugees across the border in China. It would also recommend in the strongest fashion that China live up to international agreements to which it is a part, and not subject these refugees to refoulment by repatriating them when they are certain to face imprisonment in political concentration camps, torture, or even execution.

We, the undersigned, support the North Korean Human Rights Act and ask you to as well.
