Defaced Kim Jong-il Poster: First Signs of Protest in N. Korea
From the TelegraphThe first known visual evidence of dissent within the world's most secretive state emerged yesterday when video footage taken in a North Korean factory showed a portrait of the dictator, Kim Jong-il, defaced with graffiti demanding freedom and democracy. The 35-minute video clip, said to have been taken in November, was posted on the website of an opposition group based in South Korea. It shows a poster of Kim scrawled over with the words: "Down with Kim Jong-il. Let's all rise to drive out the dictatorial regime.'' Kim inherited the leadership of the world's most reclusive communist state in 1994 on the death of his father, Kim Il-sung. Posted by: Pappy 2005-01-18 |
