    stories of political prisoners or just prisoners being tortured and killed

    Similar to Cuban refugees, they can literally get thrown in prison or executed as agents of an enemy state if they say positive things about Korea.

    Journalists paying defectors to share a story would be considered wildly unethical in any other circumstance, but it’s par for the course for north Korean defectors.

    The wild stories about rats eating children and children eating rats in camps they torture you for 7 generations is like the definition of non-credible.
