Summary

Kim Jong-un has introduced stricter laws in North Korea, sending both spouses in divorcing couples to labor camps for up to six months, with women often receiving longer sentences.

The regime views divorce as anti-socialist. Previously, only the spouse who initiated the divorce was punished.

Rising divorce rates since COVID-19 lockdowns have persisted despite public humiliation and threats of expulsion from the Korean Workers’ Party.

Reports indicate labor camps house dozens of divorcees, mostly in their late 30s, under harsh conditions.

    That is bully thinking.

    An asinine article is posted from a decidedly and historically bullshit source, and somehow the slandered subject of the article is at fault?

      What a ridiculous line of reasoning.

      What they told you is the literal truth: if they want the truth to come out, they should allow people to go find out the truth. A state does not get rights to privacy for what their literal laws are.

      There was a way for you to make this point without defending Kim Jong-un as a bullied victim lol.
