Just in case that's an assumption, a [link|http://www.nkgulag.org/english/html/sub1/main.php|Korean link]:
Never have we heard or known of a regime as cruel and destructive as the despotic regime of North Korea since the creation of heavens and human beings. Where on earth or when in human history has a society maintained such a tight grip on its people, depriving them of the freedom to residence and travels?

We cannot but be appalled at the fact that the freedom of thought, religion and conscience can be so downrightly trampled upon. Modern values like freedoms of speech, assembly and association and being equal before the law have become ridicules for over half a century in a society where even the inalienable right to life is presented as a sacrifice before the corpse of the \ufffdgreat leader.\ufffd

The term \ufffdhuman dignity\ufffd has long been erased from the minds of North Koreans.
