    No the BBC does not constitute a decent source, and also testimonies of DPRK defectors are most often lies due to these testimonies being their only lifeline. DPRK defectors are historically treated very poorly by the southern government and are often under constant police surveilance.

    Check out this documentary: Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul

    By the way, secret interviews from the DPRK, is something RFA likes to do and they are wildly known for the bullshitting campaigns and portrayals of cartoonish evil so any ammount of such “journalism” ought to be heavily criticised.

      I’m not sure the bozo can even read your reply as beehaw has blocked lemmygrad, no?

      Yeah but also the thing with defectors is that they can’t openly say good stuff about NK because of SK law in general, and since they need money in that capitalist hellhole, and probably don’t care about NK if they left it in the first place, they will tell whatever sounds good to the media interviewers to get as much money as possible. So many would sing like a canary lol. I read somewhere they would get up to 800k in US dollars or something.
