The Chinese government systematically hunts down starving North Korean refugees and sends them home to face detention in prison camps and possible execution, said Jean Ziegler, the United Nation's special rapporteur on the right to food.
This man-hunt, which reportedly involves 200-dollar rewards for information on the refugees' hiding places, is exacerbating an ongoing food tragedy in North Korea where millions of people are suffering, said Ziegler as he called on China to stop such activity immediately.
"The systematic and widespread persecution of the North Korean refugees from hunger on Chinese soil constitutes a grave and repeated violation of the human right to food," Ziegler said in a statement.
The men, women and children who are sent back to North Korea receive heavy penalties, he warned, citing information from non-governmental organisations and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
"The most common punishment is to sentence the whole family to long years in camps. The imposition of death sentences has also been alleged," Ziegler said.
