North Korean Prisoners under Close Watch with Shoot Order for Suspicious Movements
North Korea Bans Family Visits of Prisoners with “Corrosive and Rebellious” Attitudes
North Korean authorities have banned family visits of prisoners deemed to have “corrosive and rebellious” attitudes towards the government. According to a source, these prisoners have been put on a list to be “liquidated” in case of emergency or war. The source stated that the complex political conditions in the country have made it necessary to restrict family visits for these prisoners.
The source also revealed that the number of prisoners sent for daily agricultural work has been reduced, and those remaining are being trained in their cells to learn the socialist system. The prisoners working in the fields have been given “shoot orders” if they act suspiciously.
The acceptance of packages sent by families to prisoners is still allowed, but only after being thoroughly checked. North Korean authorities have been known for their strict policies towards prisoners deemed a threat to the government, and the ban on family visits is just another example of their hardline approach to dissent.
The ban on family visits has been condemned by human rights organizations, who have long criticized the North Korean government for its poor treatment of prisoners and lack of transparency in their detention facilities. The ban is likely to exacerbate tensions between the North Korean government and international community, who have already imposed strict sanctions on the country’s economy.
In recent years, the situation of North Korean human rights has been a major topic for discussion in international forums, and many have called for reforms in the country’s infamous prison system. However, the North Korean government has remained resistant to such calls, and their latest move is likely to fuel criticism from the international community.
