James Heenan, head of the UN Human Rights Office for North Korea, told a Geneva briefing that the number of executions for both normal and political crimes had increased since COVID-era restrictions.
An unspecified number of people had already been executed under new laws imposing the death penalty for distributing foreign TV series, including the popular K-Dramas from South Korea, he added.
If we find you watching Alien: Earth, we will take you out.
From :yeonmi-park: & co? People whose livelihoods depend on support from the South Korean state and NED fronts? Who are threatened if they refuse to provide the “correct” testimony? Whose testimonies are entirely excluded if they contradict the narrative and are determined by the “researchers” to be the result of brainwashing?
For some reason I doubt that the DPRK has published anything claiming to have executed people for watching the Ben Shapiro Show.
What “data” are we talking about? This could encompass basically any information from almost any source. Since this is the UN though it’s probably info cooked up by the CIA and funneled through multiple fronts.
Can anyone explain to me how it’s possible to determine that people were executed for watching the Ben Shapiro Show using satellite imagery?
You mean the NED fronts staffed by South Korean fascists who cook up stories about the DPRK? That you take at face value?
“We let the not-CIA pick and choose which defectors from the designated bad country we spoke with, they were definitely all actual defectors and we can definitely take everything they say at face value, stop asking questions.”
The last one is the most egregious. “The Adolf Hitler Institute for Jewish Studies provided us with multiple individuals who testified that Jews fed innocent Auschwitz guards to imported alligators from Florida, Auschwitz was a luxury resort before Stalin killed all the guests and blamed it on Hitler” etc.
