Two Korean-Chinese civilians in China, who are suspected of Christian proselytizing, were forcibly repatriated to Pyongyang, according to Daily NK.
A source from the border city of Sinuiju in North Pyongan Province reported that "recently, two Korean-Chinese were captured and taken off to Pyongyang. The word among traders is that evidence emerged that the two had been introducing [North Koreans] to churches.”
In addition, the source said, "The authorities already stated that anyone who comes into contact with a church will be treated as an anti-revolutionary. Accordingly, they figured they shouldn’t leave alone the people who introduce them to the churches.”
Furthermore, the source said that the regime uses hwagyo (Korean-Chinese) families remaining in North Korea to help lure back their arrest targets with talk of urgent matters to attend to back home.
