You think north Koreans have rights? The ability to move implies independence. You think people living in one of the poorest dictatorships in the world have independence and rights?
Contribute to the state or die - that us all north Koreans have.
Fleeing, not moving, fleeing is a crime. You're abandoning the mother country and your relatives still living there will pay for your crimes. That's the government's stance on "moving"
No shit
This is the best summary I could come up with:
HONG KONG — Up to 600 North Koreans have “vanished” after having been repatriated from China to the isolated communist country, where they are likely to face imprisonment and abuse at the hands of authorities, a rights group said Thursday.
No communication has been established with the North Koreans since they were forcibly deported from China in October in what the Transitional Justice Working Group, or TJWG, based in Seoul, South Korea, says is the largest mass repatriation of its kind in years.
Branded criminals and traitors by the North Korean regime, they are likely to face torture and sexual- and gender-based violence, imprisonment in concentration camps, forced abortions and execution, the group said as it urged the U.S. and other governments to condemn China’s actions as a violation of international norms.
The Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry said at the time that there were no “so-called defectors” in China and that Beijing had always handled the issue in accordance with domestic and international law.
“Not only are they sending these helpless North Koreans back home, but they’re also leaving these husbands without wives, children without their mothers,” said Shin, the TJWG legal analyst.
An estimated 300 crossed the border in one place alone, from the Chinese city of Tumen in Jilin province to the North Korean town of Onsong.
