ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThis report could not have been written without the
assistance of voluntary agency personnel working in China, who cannot
be identified to preserve their ability to carry on their humanitarian
work with North Koreans crossing the border. I hope that at some point
conditions in China and North Korea will allow their invaluable work
and perspective on the situation to become more widely known. Other
Refugees International staff, who also must remain anonymous, assisted
the author with conducting the interviews. Refugees International
interns Keith Stansky and Keegan Kautzky assisted with editing the
interviews. Substantial portions of the analytical section of this
report first appeared in the International Journal of Korean
Unification Studies, Vol. 13, No. 2, 2004, pages 75-97 and are
used here with permission.
NOTE ON THE PHOTOGRAPHSThe photographs that accompany this
report are by Greg Constantine from his exhibit entitled, “A Matter of
Exposure: The Continuing Struggle of North Koreans in Asia.” They
depict North Korean refugees who spent time in China but who were
subsequently able to make their way to third countries, where their
photographs were taken. The individuals portrayed in Mr. Constantine’s
photos were not interviewed by Refugees International.
