HR Violation in North Korea

Current human rights issue comes from women being sold to men in China after fleeing from North Korea. The women defectors have fled their North Korean homes for China, but are met with different problems after crossing the border. They are not legally allowed to claim citizenship, and are being sold as wives to farmers across China. Often after running away from their 'husbands', these women have been returned to the North Korean government and sentenced to years in labor camps and tortured by police officials. The women involved in this have stated their wish to express their abuse to President Obama.
