- 5 years ago
North Korea remains one of the world's most repressive states and leader Kim Jong-un is exercising almost complete political control.
That's according to a report... by international human rights organization, Human Rights Watch.
The report says,... North Korea not only restricts people's civil and political freedom... but routinely uses arrest, punishment, torture and execution to control its people.
Citizens are forced under harsh, unpaid labor to build infrastructure... and those repatriated from China while trying to escape to South Korea... are severely punished and tortured.
The organization urged key international actors to raise these issues... pointing out how despite many summits with Kim Jong-un,... South Korea, the U.S., and China didn't bring up these issues.
