Ask A North Korean Defector: Why balloons stand no chance of changing North KoreaForeigners expecting anti-government leaflets to stimulate regime change misunderstand the realities of North Korea
Every week we ask a North Korean your questions, giving you the chance to learn more about the country we know so little about. This week Robert Lawson in Canada asks: When you lived in North Korea did you ever notice any forms of dissent? I heard there has been some in some areas. And what do you think of things like anti-regime leaflets and anti-regime graffiti? Recently, there have been many reports in the press about conservative South Korean organizations working with North Korean defectors to send balloons filled with anti-Pyongyang leaflets across the border.
