A woman reads a book as commuters make their way through a subway station in Pyongyang, North Korea... The people were told to read at least 30 pages every day and to keep personal reading journals, summarizing the key feelings and thoughts from what they read.

Billions must read.

Also North Korea arrests 5 Christians during underground church service

It is one of 17 countries identified to be involved in or condoning systematic, continuous and serious violations of freedom of religion and belief, according to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom’s 2023 annual report.

      2 hours of reading a day at most?

      Why aren’t they spending 40 hours a week staring at excel :frothingfash:

      I swear to fucking god every single North Korean hit piece comes down to cultural differences. It is very acceptable for your boss to tell you to do whatever the fuck, it is not acceptable for the gubmint to tell you to do anything
