China has launched a campaign of forced repatriation of North Korean refugees, according to the international humanitarian organization, Doctors Without Borders.
The organisation said in a report that posters had appeared along the border between China and North Korea exhorting Chinese to turn in North Korean refugees and warning of steep fines for harboring a refugee.
The report, citing refugees' accounts, said those sent back to North Korea faced reprisals ranging "from interrogation, reeducation and imprisonment to capital punishment."It is not known how many people have been repatriated since the campaign began in May, but the group estimated that it is in the thousands.
