On October 23, 2017, at a meeting on "Religious Freedom and Refugee Human Rights" held in South Korea, Ms. Rosita Šorytė, who had represented the Interim Lithuanian President as Chairman of the EU Working Group on Humanitarian Assistance, stated in her speech, "According to the 2004 Guidelines of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the 1987 UN Refugee Convention, for a persecuted religious group, members of The Church of Almighty God (CAG) have clearly been subject to the persecution of torture, a higher severity of iniquity than social persecution, thus more deserving of being granted refugee status." Šorytė mentioned that the Republic of Korea is a respected democracy that has also signed and ratified the 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1967 Protocol. It should fulfill its responsibilities in accordance with these international documents. If the persecuted Christians of CAG are repatriated to mainland China, it is utterly a crime!
