U.S. tells North Korea rights abusers 'you cannot hide any more'
(Reuters) - The top U.S. human rights official took to a stage with two young North Korean defectors on Wednesday and warned North Korea the United States would step up pressure on the country to end human rights abuses and that perpetrators "cannot hide anymore."
Tom Malinowski, assistant secretary of state for human rights, said he and Robert King, the State Department's special envoy for North Korean human rights issues, had been given specific instructions by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
"Our charge from our boss is to step it up and do more," he told an audience at the State Department on U.N. Human Rights Day.
Gesturing to a satellite image of a North Korean prison camp, Malinowski said the United States would do everything it could to highlight abuses in North Korea and warned the camp's commanders and senior North Korean officials, "we see this, we see you, we know who you are and what you are doing ... you cannot hide any more."
