Underground Railroad Update

This from the Korea Times:

A U.S. senator has accused China of violating international law by continuing to repatriate North Korean refugees caught on its territory, expressing concern over the recent “warning” given by a Chinese diplomat in Seoul to a lawmaker engaged in an international campaign to help North Korean refugees in China, an aide to the legislator said Sunday.

In a letter of protest sent to Yang Jiechi, Chinese ambassador to the U.S., Sen. Sam Brownback, Republican of Kansas, said the warning issued by the Chinese diplomat aimed at interfering in the humanitarian efforts of a local politician was an “abuse of its authority.”

I don’t suppose OhMyNews will give Senator Brownback credit for standing up for South Korea’s sovereignty. Of course, in addition to being an American, Senator Brownback has been the advocate for the North Korean people in the Senate, which to OhMyNews actually makes him an enemy of the Korean people. As they never quite say, “with enemies like these . . . .”
