Reports from Inside North Korea: Rimjingang

by Richardson ~ April 1st, 2008. Filed under: Defectors & Refugees, Japan.

The magazine that “feature[s] reports on North Korea only using accounts from people based in the country,” has started a Japanese version (the Korean-language version came out last year).

Defectors who agree to go back into North Korea are given cameras to document life there, which means that those who are discovered stand a very high chance of being executed as spies.

It’s being billed as the, “first magazine about North Korea reported by North Koreans from inside the country,” though the Daily NK has been doing just that for several years.

    There is a Yahoo Japan video repository, but only Japanese IP’s are allowed to see them. That makes me sad.
