Nuclear threats, missile tests, total border closures and human rights violations are common topics when talking about North Korea. We may add a chronic lack of information, food and health crisis and rumors about Kim Jong Un's health and the continuity of leadership.
Nevertheless, what we know about North Korea is limited. Information is not always verified and sources are not always independent, and it’s even harder to access reliable content in Spanish. To try to fill this gap, we’ve analyzed the country under the spotlight.
Starting in October, we will publish exclusive content and translations in Spanish from renowned human rights organizations and specialized media around the globe.
