Good evening. It's 9:00PM here in South Korea. Thank you for joining us on Arirang News.
For the very first time, the South Korean government has made public the details of North Korea's dire human rights violations. The 400-page report contains testimonies of how people on the other side of the Peninsula, --even minors and pregnant women, have been deprived of their freedom to live, to relocate, and to express themselves. Our unification ministry correspondent Kim Mok-yeon leads our coverage tonight.
The South Korean government is to reveal explicit details of North Korea's dire human rights situation to the public for the very first time. In a rare move, South Korea has shared the contents of a report detailing how the regime in the North have been abusing the rights of its people.
The 4-hundred-page report includes vivid testimony from more than 500 North Korean defectors who came to South Korea from 2017 to 2022. The documents claim that people have been deprived of their rights to live, to chose their religion, and even to relocate.
Also, accounts of public executions even for offenses the regime considers less serious. People have been sentenced to death for not following COVID quarantine rules or for watching or sharing content from South Korea. The regime has not spare women or even children. The situation was even worse for prisoners, many of whom are known to have died of malnutrition, overwork and physical assault.
People's right to express their thoughts, their rights to privacy and to travel have also been violated due to strict surveillance. The authorities also conduct sudden checks on whether people are wearing the badges depicting North Korea's founder Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-un's father Kim Jong-il, and even monitor their phone conversations. Some details in the report have been pointed out in the past by private institutions and international organizations.
But Seoul's Unification Ministry says the fact that they're in an official government document in South Korea is significant because it reflects the Yoon Suk-yeol administration's determination to help improve such conditions.
For the past 6 years, the annual report had been produced but not disclosed; this marks the first time that it's available to the public. "We hope that the release of the report will raise awareness of the situation in North Korea at home and abroad, and lead to stronger local, private and international cooperation aimed at promoting human rights in the regime." The ministry says it hopes the report will lead to change in the way North Korean authorities exert control, and vowed continued efforts to guarantee humane lives for the people in the North. The report was revealed to the press Thursday, and will be made accessible to the public from Friday. The government plans to release an English version of the report as soon as possible for international audiences. Kim Mok-yeon, Arirang news.
