The audience of each NK Human Rights blogs is well… insufficient. So rather to do our own things seperately, we will be coming with ways to unite. So over at USINKOREA comes a brilliant idea, using Web 2.0’s social networking site to our benefit.

So we’re now a part of a new Facebook group. So as a proud user of 2 1/2 years, I already import my blog posts in my Notes section in my profile

I am going to be spending the next couple of days pushing Facebook’s limits. Hopefully, it will become the biggest library of info on North Korean Human Rights.

If you are already a Facebook user, please join our group. You can also subscribe to this blog via. Facebook here. If not, Facebook is an awesome service, great for tracking down “old friends” and keeping tabs on your current ones.

Here in America, when discussing immigration issues, one cannot avoid discussing the political implication of current and future policies. Of course, I am talking about demographics of current and future voters. So when this DailyNK interview talks about defector’s views on the Presidential Election, I wonder if the same implications are in the works.

My question is, “Will North Korean defectors be like the Cubans of South Florida and have a major impact in national elections?” If so, is this why so few refugees ever make it to the country?

Updates: Of course, no voter block in Korea will be successful unless they overcome these groups of useful idiots.

Meanwhile, the Chinese government is taking a stand against poor, mostly female, North Korea refugees

Recently, there have been increasing incidents of the Chinese government arresting defectors with Korean nationalities. The Chinese government is unfolding a strong defector policy.

South Korean government said, “Even with a Korean nationality, if one commits an illegal act in China, they will be arrested. Our government will investigate if there is something to investigate and handle it adequately.” The stance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade is not an incorrect one.

However, if a matter concerns defectors with South Korean nationalities, this “content” can be predicted. This concerns most citizens who have helped people from North Korea come to South Korea. But, China captures defectors and sends them back to North Korea. China’s position is that it is an illegal act even to help defectors.

Information was obtained (reported on the afternoon of the 21st) that around 30 females with South Korean nationalities were detained in prison on the 21st in Yanji, China.

If these 30 were arrested and detained all at once, this is a shocking matter. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade should first investigate the state of affairs at the consulate in Shenyang and if there is suspicion of illegal detainment, they should aggressively come forward.
