N. Korean diplomats cause chaos at UN event on rights

UNITED NATIONS: A US-organized UN event on North Korea’s human rights has briefly turned chaotic as North Korean diplomats insisted on reading a statement, amid shouts from defectors, and then stormed out of a United Nations chamber.
Washington's UN ambassador, Samantha Power, tried to quiet the North Korean diplomats at Thursday’s event that features more than 20 defectors.
The North Korean diplomats did not comment as they left the chamber after reading out a statement in protest of the event, even as North Korean defectors stood and shouted in their faces.
