#ROK claims it's tried to improve human rights in #DPRK. Moon admin:

-Abstained vote on UN resolution on NK human rights
-Shut down legislation-mandated NKHR office
-No NKHR amb appointed
-Forcibly sent back 2 defectors tied up-gagged- blindfolded. tinyurl.com/55rktpn7 1/3

-Lied the two insisted on return to NK
-"Yes ma'am" to #KimYoJong #GagLaw command 26 min after she issued command 06/04/2020. Law passed in Dec; to take effect Mar 30.
-Crackdown on 100s of HR NGOs
-Defended #KimJongUn as "sincere, audacious, polite"

No surprise here. Why? 2/3

Bc Moon NK policy is variant on Kim DJ's NKHR denial:

“To affront North Korea with human rights issues in their face, with criticism, would not be wise–the greatest human rights issue on the Korean peninsula is that of the 10 million members of the separated families.”-DJ, 2001

2 years ago today, #Trump walked out on #KimJongUn in Hanoi, w lunch all set on table. Greatest snub princeling-turned-deified dictator has ever faced. Trum walked away from a deal that would have enabled Kim to build more bombs undisturbed. but he also embarrassed himself by 1/

saying at the presser Kim had told him that Kim didn't know about the hostage-taking, torture & unlawful killing of #OttoWarmbier, "and I will take him at his word." Otto's parents issued a statement: "We have been respectful during this summit process. Now we must speak out." 2/

"Kim and his evil regime are responsible for the death of our son Otto. Kim and his evil regime are responsible for unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity. No excuses or lavish praise can change that."

The wristwatch worn by North Korean Kim Jong-un on the 10th anniversary of the 75th anniversary of the Labor Party was found to be a Swiss luxury watch worth 14 million won (€10,900 in Germany/$11,600) .

Luxury items such as expensive watches are subject to sanctions against North Korea by the UN Security Council. Looking at North Korea's Chosun Joongang TV, which some media broadcasted without editing,

Kim Jong-un took off his glasses and tried to steal tears from the people while crying out to overcome the disaster in his speech. The frame of his brother's watch flashed. As a result of this report, it was a product of'Portofino Automatic' by Swiss IWC.

Because they criticized the economic policy of the North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un at a private dinner, five officers were apparently shot by a special squad.

The employees of the Ministry of Economic Affairs were arrested at the end of July and then executed. Those affected are said to have spoken openly beforehand about how bad the economy of the isolated country is and that industrial reforms are needed.

Both the economics minister and Kim himself are said to have been informed of the contents of the conversation. According to the report, the relatives of the dead are now in a camp for political prisoners.

“Many N. Korea experts in the South assessed that in the wake of Kim Jong Il brandishing his “Military Politics” slogan during the famine of the late-1990s, power in the DPRK had shifted from the party to the military. Since Kim Jong Un came to power," 2/

"they offered up the analysis that power had shifted back from the military to the party. Some assess who is No. 2 and No. 3 etc. in the hierarchy based on nominal rank alone. All this is an empty feast of words due to ignorance of the role of the central party." 3/

Some quick analysis on KJU & his latest politburo meeting on #COVID19 yesterday because this is not just about #NorthKorea reporting a potential outbreak for the first time, as significant & newsworthy as that is.

Background: Despite sharing a long border with China, #NorthKorea claims it does not have a single confirmed case of #COVID19, which is hard to believe. But without access, we have no way right now of knowing the truth, and I think we need to be skeptical of all info from #DPRK.

What I do see: KJU has been using fear of the #COVID19 pandemic as a way to rally his people against this outside threat. It’s part of a domestic political campaign to win the people’s loyalty after the disappointments of 2019. I wrote about this in Feb: wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/coro…

Basketball star Dennis Rodman talks about his first visit to North Korea! In the "Hotboxin" podcast by boxing legend Mike Tyson (53), the eccentric ex-athlete reports on the encounter with Kim Jong-un.

After his first visit, Rodmann was always drawn to the cart of the North Korean dictator. Even became part of the crazy propaganda show through his appearances and visits. In total, Rodman has been to the isolated country five times.

With varnished fingernails, a baseball cap and his characteristic earrings and piercings in his nose and mouth, Rodman sits in the podcast studio, smokes a fat cigar and freely explains what he thought when asked if he wanted to go to North Korea: "Yes, cool ! North Korea.

North Korean newspapers silenced by Chairman Kim Jong-un's "Health Abnormality" emphasize the spirit of self-renewal on the labor day, and "Let's believe and follow Kim Jong-un" I encouraged myself.

In the editorial titled, “All workers, let's shine the heroic struggle history and tradition and open the path of front-breaking vigorously,” the labor newspaper, the Labor Party's newspaper, was the only guideline and the lifeline of the comrade Kim Jong-un.

"You have to hold on to it and go through it thoroughly."Particularly, it attracts attention by emphasizing that "no matter what heavenly storm comes, you must become a loyal believer who absolutely believes in and follows only his leader."

President Donald Trump noted that he knew exactly what was happening with North Korea's chairman Kim Jong-un in his State of Health.

"I know what's going on," President Trump said after being asked about Chairman Kim's status at an event held at the White House on the 30th (local time). But President Trump said, "I can't talk about Kim Jong-un right now." I just want everything to be fine. "

President Trump also emphasized, "I know the situation very well." The emphasis was placed on the fact that the US intelligence agency has accurate information regarding the outflow of reports on Kim's health ideals. Nevertheless, the contents were asked.

The U.S. Congressional Bureau of Investigation said Kim Jong-un, the first vice-president of the North Korean Labor party leader Kim Yo-jong, is likely to succeed Kim.

They also said there would be great implications for the interests of the United States if there was a power struggle in North Korea.

The US Congressional Research Bureau (CRS) in the United States Congress said in an updated report on US-North Korea relations that the length of time Kim Jong-un disappeared from the public eye was sparked by unconfirmed media reports that he was seriously ill or died.
