rights nauh: The network was set up by Korean pastors inspired by the Underground Railroad, the secret passages enslaved African-Americans used to escape to free states from the late 1700s until the American Civil War, according to CNN. The arrests have become more intense recently, said Ji Seong-ho, a defector and President of Now Action and Unity for Human Rights NAUH a group working to improve human rights conditions in North Korea. Activists and organizations working with North Korean defectors say Beijing is increasingly cracking down on safe houses and there has been a recent uptick in the arrest of escapees. There seems to be five to seven arrests raids each month. Due to the secrecy shrouded over everything to do with North Korea, CNN cannot independently verify the numbers. Refugees flee in a group so that is up to 20 to 30 people arrested every month, Ji said.
