North Korea has increased its use of the death penalty to target those consuming foreign media, especially from South Korea, since the Covid pandemic.
The number of executions and sentencing increased by nearly 117 per cent after Pyongyang closed its borders in January 2020 compared with the five years before, according to a report by the South Korea-based Transitional Justice Working Group.
Meh, North Korea probably sucks ass, but we’re also spoon fed tons of propaganda about it.
My favorite lies I’ve heard are the ones where people push trains around, though the ones where they’re killed for watching movies is also good.
There’s also the one where hungry kids eat rats, get sick and die, and are then eaten by rats. 😂
