Increasing Dissent
Fox News
North Korean refugees interviewed by a bipartisan U.S. Committee on Human Rights say there are increasing signs of dissent in the country. The Daily Telegraph reports that 80 percent of the 1,300 people interviewed say North Koreans no longer believe the official propaganda that their living conditions are superior to those in South Korea.
90 percent said North Koreans are voicing their concerns about food shortages — and that they had witnessed someone dying of starvation. Three-quarters said they'd seen a person die of torture. The refugees say that while the government tightly controls official information — word about rising living standards in neighboring china is getting out.
