Hello! I am Chun-il, Oh, living in Seoul now. I once lived in Japan, but I went to North Korea with the program of repatriation at my age 11. Starting from 1959 to 1984, the Repatriation Program of Korean residents in Japan had sent the number of 94,000 people to North Korea, which was publicized as Paradise on Earth at the time. However, the real North was fulfilled with the violations of human rights and was hell of earth. We encountered extremely low standard of living, severe living environment without freedom of expression. I thnik White house can bring this issue to the international table and make pressure to North Korea government to get the returnees back into Japan. Please save them because they went to the North with intended false information, they have rights of restoration.
