North Korean refugees paint portrait of starvation, brutality LOS ANGELES The first North Koreans allowed into the U-S as refugees in a half-century say they fled starvation at home only to find brutality and slavery in neighboring China. Several women say they were kidnapped and forced into the sex trade or marriage in China, then deported back to North Korea and imprisoned under brutal conditions. The two men and four women spoke through translators at a news conference using fake names and wearing caps and sunglasses to conceal their identities. They say they fear reprisals against relatives back home. One woman says "the whole world should unite and combine to stop these atrocities." Another refugee says freedom for people in North Korea "is the wish for all of us here." North Korea denies it violates human rights despite widespread accusations of torture and other abuses. ---------------------------------------------------
