Human Rights Violations in North Korea

Human rights violations in North Korea involve severe restrictions on freedom of speech, movement, and political expression. The government controls information, denies basic rights, and punishes dissent through imprisonment, forced labor, or execution. Many citizens face starvation, poor living conditions, and arbitrary detention in camps. The regime suppresses religious practices and limits access to outside information, creating a climate of fear and repression. These violations are committed systematically by the state, affecting millions and violating fundamental human rights recognized internationally.
