I've been curious about this and can't seem to find a good source on search engines, it's all wikipedia and human rights watch or some stuff like that. Tried looking for some dprk news sources (I wanted ones actually from Korea), but got only propaganda from the US or occupied korea.
That stuff about churches sounds like it's made up, from what I've experienced with christians. Yeah, all of those sound better than what I know about cops in good ol' capitalism. Great reply, thanks for the info
