South Korea, please stop deporting Falun Gong refugees back to China

The South Korean government needs to get in shape. Despite plenty of evidence that Chinese authorities can persecute anyone who practices Falun Gong in China, even if they practiced in their homes, the South Korea government has repatriated 3 Falun Gong refugees back to China in the past weeks.

Here’s hoping that South Korea is able to do the right thing.

Falun Dafa Information Center Urges Korean President to Protect Falun Gong Refugees

Excerpt:

However, a wide range of eyewitness accounts and third party reports – including those from Amnesty International, the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, and the United Nations – document the ongoing systemic and widespread nature of persecution against Falun Gong in China. Practitioners fleeing the country are regularly granted asylum in the United States and Western European countries, as well as protection from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees because of the risk they would face should they be forced to return to China. South Korea has ratified several international human rights treaties that prohibit repatriation of individuals to countries where they risk torture.
