The Biden administration on Sunday elevated its push to draw attention to human rights abuses by the regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, asserting that the regime “continues to exploit its own citizens, including through mass mobilizations of school children and forced labor.”
“Addressing [North Korea’s] egregious human rights situation remains a priority for the United States, and we continue to work with the international community to highlight abuses and violations,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a statement marking the department’s recognition of the start of the 20th annual North Korea Freedom Week.
“We remain deeply concerned about the plight of North Korean asylum seekers, including some 2,000 North Koreans detained in China who are at risk of repatriation to the DPRK,” Mr. Miller said. “North Koreans forcibly repatriated are reportedly commonly subjected to torture, arbitrary detention, forced abortion, other forms of gender-based violence, and summary execution.”
The pursuit ultimately failed after two summits between Mr. Trump and Mr. Kim, whose regime has since ramped up ICBM tests and nuclear activities.
