A U.S. nonprofit loaded thousands of USB flash drives with blockbuster movies and television shows and sent them to North Korea this year, according to the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) on Sunday.
HRF told NK News that it sent 2,000 USB flash drives and SD cards to the North in 2022 as part of their Flashdrives for Freedom program. Besides movies and series, some of the files on the drives included “educational content” on entrepreneurship and human rights reports from the United Nations.
