A North Korean human rights activist holds a banner during an anti-China rally in Seoul May 23, 2008. Activists held a protest against Beijing's policy toward North Korean refugees, which the protesters insisted was an inhumane repatriation to the North. China typically views asylum seekers from North Korea as economic refugees and often returns them to the North, despite the fact they face imprisonment and even death for trying to defect.
