UN chief calls for prosecuting human rights violators in North Korea

António Guterres says DPRK has further repressed rights and freedoms in last year, including through COVID restrictions

U.N. chief António Guterres called for efforts to “prosecute and bring to justice” human rights violators in North Korea on Wednesday, stating that the DPRK has further repressed the rights and freedoms of its citizens in the last year.
