[QUOTE=Mlisen14;40883424]North Korea doesn't normally execute child escapees. Two escapees spoke on Australian television. One of them knew people who had been returned to NK and had been put in prison for several months before being returned to their homes.[/QUOTE] Then lets hope that these kids get a fraction of that.

Hopefully Un is more enlightened and reformist. For some reason I think he might be since NK is looking better everytime I see it in a documentary and many experts have commented that its changing.
What was the mindset that made them think it was a good idea?
Read the entire article. The man they call M.J in it and his wife are heroes. Taking in 15 North Korean refugees for four years while working with various organisations to get them to safety in the US or South Korea.
We need to have an International Dickishness Committee or something, we've clearly reached the point where countries can't be expected not to be unsympathetic assholes. Why would you even make the decision to deport someone back to North Korea? What benefit would that bring to [i]anyone[/i], other than saying "PAY ATTENTION TO US WE ARE COMMUNISTS TOO YOU SEE"?

[QUOTE=Chrille;40881531] if those officials from laos had visited a north korean concentration camp, they would never dream of sending anyone back to that country. but they don't have to face that reality. all they did was talk to some officials from one country, and then some officials from another, and then that was it. [/QUOTE] Are you sure about that? Laos is pretty much on the same level as China and Vietnam when it comes to human rights.

They surely were aware they signed those refuge's death warrants, basically.
[QUOTE=UnknownDude;40885455]Are you sure about that? Laos is pretty much on the same level as China and Vietnam when it comes to human rights.[/QUOTE] Laos is North Korea's ally. Or the closest country you could consider to be their ally. The trip through Laos isn't as dangerous for people being smuggled from north korea, but it's pretty close, as they can and often will be shot if caught crossing borders (from the lagosians). They're only really safe once in the Philippines.

There is only one party in Laos, and you do not get into a position of power in that party by being what would be considered a rabble rouser. That's to say, antagonizing your very angry unstable neighbor. So sending back that neighbor's fleeing citizens is a very small thing to do for what they consider stability in their region.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;40881777]North Korea literally has half a million or even a million people living in slave labor/concentration camps. It doesn't even have to be like this. If the current regime fell food and supplies would be able to flood into the country pretty quickly but instead people are starving and still using oxen as a primary way to transport goods.[/QUOTE] And if the jews would trade with NK they would be much better off regardless of regime
[QUOTE=Lonestriper;40881296]I think Laos is being a bit blinded by the fact that they and North Korea constitute half the socialist states left in the world.[/QUOTE] North Korea eliminated all communist and socialist things from constitution, Laos probably did this to piss someone off Plus i doubt it's legal to send them to SK if they are citizens of the NK
[QUOTE=SonicHitman;40882429][thumb]http://www.latimes.com/media/photo/2013-06/76139007.jpg[/thumb] these are the 9 kids they seemed very happy, fuck Laos.[/QUOTE] It seems duckfacing is also a thing in North Korea [editline]4th June 2013[/editline] All jokes aside, fuck Laos for sending these kids off to die.
Stupid fucking cunts
Those people are truly dead men (and women and children) walking. :(
I hope whoever decided to send them back realizes that he just sent nine people to their deaths.
wonder how they got to laos, I thought they just escaped to mongolia/china who then handed them back to south korea?
Like i said, it would violate the international law to return the citizens of another country to a country they are not a citizen of.
except that south korea is popularly thought to have governance over the citizens of the entire peninsula (nothing to envy by Barbara Demick), so north korean refugees would go to mongolia or china with a clearly faked passport so they get deported back to sk)
Fuck you, Laos.
