A Christian takes part in a protest against Beijing's policy toward North Korean defectors in Seoul August 25, 2008. Christians and human rights activists demanded a stop to the repatriation of North Korean refugees who have fled to China to escape hunger and political oppression in their homeland. Chinese President Hu Jintao, buoyed by an Olympics that lifted the global status of his country, arrived in South Korea on Monday for talks on expanding bilateral trade and ending North Korea's nuclear weapons programme. The red signs read, "Stop (the repatriation)". REUTERS/Jo Yong-Hak (SOUTH KOREA)
