News North Korea blasts ‘rampant violence’ against youth and women in UKBut expert calls report, which fails to reveal official statistics, a routine bashing of countries hostile to DPRK
North Korea slammed the U.K. for “rampant violence” against youth and women in what an expert called a “tabloid-style” propaganda statement, which blatantly omits reported crime data. The DPRK foreign ministry carried a statement by a researcher at the Korea-Europe Association on Thursday, chastising the U.K. for reporting human rights issues in other countries. “It’s utterly ridiculous that the U.K., professing to be a ‘country of advanced human rights’, often finds fault with human rights issue of other countries, instead of redressing the poor human rights situation in its own country,” a researcher named Mun Hyon A reportedly wrote.
