I am a South Korean (born in Seoul) living in Canada.
North Koreans never really got their freedom--they aren't free right now.
Apparently, there are some news going around saying North Koreans are free.
They are not, just because of their evil leader.
Jong-Il Kim, North Korean leader, passed away around December 2011.
His son (Jung-un) is now going to rule it.
SEARCH HIM UP IN Google. (Best way to search)
But I wish North Koreans were free--they never really deserved to be that abused!
North Korea Freedom Coalition was created in 2003.
Yes because north Korea is not Communist, but south Korea is. in south Korea they have absolutely zero freedom of speech.Answer:The previous answer is completely wrong. North Korea is communist and South Korea is a democracy. Most accounts assume that North Korea has almost no freedom of speach, however, much of what we know about North Korea is speculation, since it is the most isolated country in the entire world.
One BIG thing is that North Korea has a dictator, someone wwho forces things, and South Korea has more freedoms and has a President. Mainly, South Korea has more freedom than North Korea.
Countries that do not have freedom of speech include North Korea, China, Cuba, and Iran, among others.
South Korea for many reasons 1. Freedom 2. South is more wealthy 3. Better Life
North Korea is a country known for severely restricting press freedom. The government exercises strict control over all media outlets and allows only state-run news organizations to operate. Independent journalism is virtually non-existent in North Korea.
They invaded South Korea, the people are starving and have famine. No freedom a basic US ideal, North Korea's diplomacy is unpredictable and radical. and if you want to be more specific with your question please do.
No, people in North Korea do not have the freedom to travel freely. The government tightly controls the movement of its citizens both within the country and internationally.
Some countries that do not guarantee freedom of speech include North Korea, China, Iran, and Cuba.
I would guess that most non-North Koreans familiar with the situation would answer "no", mainly because the press is controlled either by the state or the Workers' Party of Korea, and also because of reports that dissenters are sent to political hard labor camps and/or executed.
The statement "North Korea is Freedom" is paradoxical, as the country is widely recognized for its oppressive regime, strict government control, and severe restrictions on personal freedoms and human rights. Citizens face censorship, limited access to information, and harsh penalties for dissent. While the government promotes a narrative of sovereignty and independence, the reality for many North Koreans is one of repression and lack of basic liberties. Thus, the idea of "freedom" in North Korea is largely a misleading concept.
Many people have different beliefs, but I think that The greatest problem North Korea faces is poverty. Their form of government is very strict, and many are poor, hungry, and have no freedom.
