Kim Yong Ja, 46 (7 Mayã€1957)ã€was an ordinary housewife from Kuwol dong, Pyongsong City, Pyongan Province in North Korea and was among some 40 North Korean refugees who were arrested during the past 5 days in the areas of Qin Huang Dau, Hubei Province in a new wave of crackdown on the North Korean refugees in China.

In an act of protest to Chinese police brutality perpetrated on North Korean Refugees and reflecting her own great despair and fear of persecution at the prospect of her own impending repatriation to North Korea, she slashed her wrist and throat with a shard of broken glass from a prison window.

In this context, the International conference express deep condolences to the family of Kim Young Ja, and condemns the Chinese government in the strongest possible term for the barbaric operation of hunting down North Korean refugees and repatriating them to certain fates of imprisonment, torture and even summary execution. Such actions are in utter defiance of humanitarianism and customary international law. The conference participants have addressed a strong letter of protest to the Chinese Ambassador in Tokyo on Friday, 14 December 2007
