Former North Korea bodyguard accuses Kim Jong Un of rights abuses | ||
2016-02-25 | ||
I wonder if the oligarchy there is regretting setting up that Kim cult. A former bodyguard to the late Kim Jong Il said the current North Korean leader leads a life of luxury while ordinary North Koreans die of hunger.
I wasn't aware that plankton had to be hunted . . . . The defector said that as the leader of North Korea Kim should be taking care of his people, but is instead pursuing his own interests. There is a Chinese saying that wealth never survives three generations. Lee added Information control in North Korea is tight, and the Pyongyang regime "closes the eyes and ears" of the people -- preventing most, even senior officials, from ever knowing anything about Kim's lavish lifestyle and the abject conditions in the prison camps. Lee said The defector worked as the late Kim Jong Il's bodyguard between 1978 and 1988. He was imprisoned at Yodok concentration camp for five years after his arrest in 1994, when he attempted to flee the country. Lee left North Korea permanently in 1999 and gained entry to South Korea in 2000. He currently works as an activist at a North Korea human rights organization. Lee's criticism of A recently published South Korean research paper that analyzes political trends in North Korea stated Kim Jong Un is moving away from his father's "military-first" policies in favor or returning more power to the Korean Workers' Party and bolstering economic development.
