Seoul - Yonhap
China is set to deport a group of alleged North Korean defectors back to their home country later in the day, a lawmaker said Thursday, adding urgency to Seoul\'s efforts to block the move. Seoul has been pressuring Beijing to stop the repatriation of the 35 alleged defectors after they were apparently rounded up in China at the end of last month to be sent back home. The Commission to Help North Korean Refugees, a South Korean humanitarian group, claimed last week that the group faced deportation early this month.
