    “While his means of entry into South Korea in violation of the law was wrong, surveillance of the Chinese authorities and political persecution of Kwon since 2016 are behind his life-risking crossing into South Korea,” Lee said.

    “He is now weighing whether to apply for refugee status in South Korea or choose a third country,” he said.

    Well, that’s nice. Glad they don’t even consider sending him back or something. Hope he gets out of this well.

              They’ve also said they want to take away our human rights laws and leave the ECHR. Once they take away all those pesky human rights we’ll be all set.
