UN human rights monitor asks North Korea to let him in
 The UN special rapporteur for human rights in North Korea urged the Hermit Kingdom reclusive country on Thursday to let him in and said he heard âvery sad storiesâ from refugees he met during a visit to the South. Thai law professor Vitit Muntarbhorn was appointed by the United Nations last year to report on human rights in North Korea but Pyongyang has blocked him from entering. During a one-week visit to South Korea, he met refugees who fled the North and told him how Pyongyang will imprison the entire family of an individual it says broke the law as part of its policy of âguilt by association.â
