From AFP:
A newly formed rights group said Tuesday it would launch a campaign to help thousands of North Korean children forced into begging or prostitution in northeast China.
The Seoul-based North Korean Human Rights Campaign Organising Committee said it was concerned about orphan refugees and about “stateless” children born to North Korean refugee women and Chinese men.
The number of orphans who have fled food shortages and other hardships and crossed into China is now about 2,000, according to committee estimates based on surveys by non-governmental organisations.
