    Friends in Burma asked me to share their photos of the mass protests throughout Burma bc they want the world to know that the majority of the country is protesting the coup. Let's make as much noise to support folks who want to reverse the military coup in Burma.

    My latest article joins the chorus of voices who are critical of the legislation recently passed by the ROK Parliament that criminalizes the dissemination of information into North Korea. (Thank you !)

    Providing access to information for North Koreans is an effective, low-cost strategy to create the conditions for positive change from within, writes. By banning such activities, Seoul is aiding and abetting Pyongyang’s repression.

    Thanks to for pointing this out. NGOs like offer some modicum of government accountability at Hanawon and help record cases of human rights abuses. Disappointed to hear that the Ministry of Unification no longer allow NKDB researchers access.

    With over 130,000 records in our database, NKDB has the largest repository of North Korean human rights records in the world. This year, the SK gov has suspended a large portion of our activities by cutting off our access to Hanawon, the resettlement centre for NK defectors.
