Human Rights Update: The Chosun Ilbo has printed a summary of the State Department’s human rights report on North Korea here. Sure, the summary is interesting if you don’t have time to read the full report. What’s more interesting is that the South Korean government has nothing to contribute to this discussion, other than to do its best to quench it by sequestering defectors or excluding them altogether.

Koreans have to read a summary written by a government on another continent to know what’s going on in a neighboring country that speaks the same language they speak.
