Seven U.S. senators including Republican Sam Brownback and Democrat Barbara Boxer on Monday sent a letter to Chinese President Hu Jintao urging him to stop repatriating North Korean refugees. Pointing out that these North Koreans are likely to be executed if they are sent back home, the senators urge the Chinese government to seek ways to solve the refugee issue as a responsible member of the international community.
In the letter sent through the Chinese Embassy in Washington, the senators call on the Chinese government to allow North Koreans to contact the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and other humanitarian organizations willing to help them out. They add they are ready to cooperate with the Chinese government to solve the issue of trafficking of North Korean women in China.
