| Taken! North Korea’s Criminal Abduction of Citizens in Other Countries |
|
| Date : November 9, 2011 |
|
| An in-depth and comprehensive history and analysis of North Korea’s state-sponsored policy of abducting citizens of other countries. This criminal enterprise dates back to the earliest days of the regime, and to policy decisions made by Kim II-sung himself. Those abducted came from widely diverse backgrounds, numerous nationalities, both genders, and all ages. During the 1960′s, 93,000 Koreans were lured from Japan and held against their will in North Korea. A decade later, children of North Korean agents were apparently kidnapped in order to control their parents. Source: The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea |

| Date : November 9, 2011 |
|
| There continues to be a pressing need on the international level for further, more effective action that addresses the ongoing repression of religious freedom and other human rights in North Korea and the persistent problem of North Korean refugees in China.

| The Last Outposts of Slavery of the Past XX Century |
|
| Date : November 8, 2011 |
|
| The detainees at the North Korean political penal-labor colonies and the South Korean POWs and civilian abductees are the last slaves of the 20th century who continue to be deprived of even the minimum of human rights. They are the victims of the ideological struggle of the communists, and strident antagonistic inter-Korean relations. Yet, even though the Cold War has already been resolved in many ways, these victims of history still need to be saved. Source: Citizens' Alliance for North Korean Human Rights |
