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.

      military state with a lot of censorship

      Quick, google korean war and what america did there (they dropped more tonns of bomb on north korea than they did in whole WW2), you will understand why they are like that

      the system worked

      Surely the govt has changed after US invading your country, kidnapping official head of state, and controlling all your natural resources for benefit of their corporations, how supporting the imperial invasion turned out to be?
