More shock horror 'human right's propaganda against People's Korea from the likes of the 'Sun' and ' Daily Mail ' (such wonderful champions of human rights , not ) who cite a report from a body called 'Human Rights Watch ' which in turn quotes from 'defectors ' ( so basically all very third hand ) . Someone once said that ' human rights are a political football ' , you score a goal against an opposing political, economic and social system by raising the accusation of human rights violations ' .
What of Human Rights Watch (HRW), the shadowy US-based 'NGO' who have made the accusations against the DPRK ? . A 2014 Altnet article ' Meet the American Empire's Favorite NGO: Human Rights ' Watch' said that " Human Rights Watch (HRW)—despite proclaiming itself “one of the world’s leading independent organizations” on human rights—so consistently paralleled U.S. positions and policies? This affinity for the U.S. government agenda is not limited to Latin America....HRW’s accommodation to U.S. policy has also extended to renditions—the illegal practice of kidnapping and transporting suspects around the planet to be interrogated and often tortured in allied countries' .
Former HRW bureaucrats have also been given positions in the US government for example Tom Malinowsk became an Assistant secretary of State . HRW has also received funding from the US ' National Endowment for Democracy " (CIA linked body ) and the high priest of globalisation himself George Soros.
As to 'defectors' they have been repeatedly shown to be unreliable , their stories have been ripped apart countless times . Some of them are like parodies . Of course the fact that south Korea offers them $800,000 for information might have something to do with the outlandish and fanciful stories they come up with .
However some might say , this is all very well but what about human rights in the DPRK , can people be subjected to detention and torture ? . Actually no . Article 79 of the DPRK Socialist Constitution states " Citizens are guaranteed inviolability of the person and the home, and privacy of correspondence."
No citizen can be placed under control or arrest nor can a citizen’s home be searched without a legal warrant." . This is actually better than many capitalist countries such as the US and UK which give virtually unlimited powers to the police .
Torture is strictly prohibited in the DPRK . The report of the Report of the DPRK Association for Human Rights Studies published in September 2014 ' states as follows 'It is strictly prohibited to intentionally torture, that is, to inflict pain upon humans and to treat and punish them in an inhuman and degrading manner, whether physical or mental.
Torture is an act that forces humans to confess or make a statement by inflicting physical or mental pain upon them. This is the most barbaric act that violates personal rights of humans.
Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 7 of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, convention against torture and other international conventions on human rights defined such acts as crimes and strictly prohibited them.
According to the criminal law of the DPRK, it is regarded as a crime when criminals are interrogated in an inhumane manner including torture and a criminal case was decided in an unjust manner by exaggeration and fabrication.
Serious punishment is inflicted upon any one if he inflicts a serious injury or causes death upon a person.
In case anyone injures a person’s health or life or gives mental pain to him responsibilities of compensating for damages lie with them.
It is prohibited to make criminal suspects admit their facts constituting an offense and lead them to make a statement by torturing and beating as well as by other inhumane methods.
Students in the institutes of training officials of law enforcements are educated in such a way that they fully ensure scientific accuracy objectivity and prudence in dealing with a case based on proper understanding of illegality and harmfulness of inhumane and degrading methods of interrogation and that they strictly abide by the principles of “Evidence First”.
Law enforcement organs, on their part, take proper steps such as strict control, correction and punishment so that the inhuman treatments including torture may not be committed.
Institutions of investigation and prosecution have important roles to play in prohibiting inhumane treatment or punishment including torture.
Institutions of investigation, preliminary examination and reformation conduct regular supervision so that rights not to be subject to torture are ensured. If such cases as inhumane treatments and punishment including torture are brought to light strong legal punishment is placed on them. If appeals are made by examinees, defence counsels and others, the relevant institutions conduct inquiry in a timely manner and take necessary legal measures."( see link)
In fact the crime rate in People's Korea is very low so arrest of citizens does not occur frequently.The DPRK is a stable and harmonious unified society based on single hearted unity so there is no terrorism and no riots. In the DPRK there is unity between the armed forces and civilians so people do not fear or despise the armed forces.
These latest false allegations against People's Korea are just another plot , another conspiracy to smear and tarnish Juche -based socialism !
