ABSTRACT
Google will be hosting Dong Hyuk Shin, a 26-year-old North Korean defector born and raised in a concentration camp. Shin was born on Nov. 19, 1982 and called the camp home until 2005. While at the camp, he endured daily beatings, torture, starvation-level rations, saw forced abortions and even witnessed the public execution of his mother and brother in 1996. Shin described his life of total isolation from the world: "In South Korea, although there is disappointment and sadness, there is also so much joy, happiness and comfort. In Kaechon, I did not even know such emotions existed. The only emotion I ever knew was fear: fear of beatings, fear of starvation, fear of torture and fear of death." LiNK's Executive Director Adrian Hong will brief the audience on the broader issue of human rights in North Korea, as well as the current refugee situation and what can be done to help. Liberty in North Korea, or LiNK, is an international non-governmental organization devoted to human rights in North Korea and the protection of North Korean refugees.
This talk will be taped.

NK's wanna suck kim jung il's dick.. you know what.. YOUR DEAR LEADER IS HAVING ALL THE GLORY WHILE YOU STARVE TO DEATH.. thats not fair.. what kind of fucking leader is that? keeping it ALL by himself.. NK's are blind
9. flag is a sign of humanrights crimes 10. Lower obesity because you don't have any food 11. People are not obsessed with technology because they don't have accsess to it
1. no money, therefore no taxes amongst people 2. free healtcare- you die before you need it 3. Because even a little comment against the government means inprisonment on a lifetime in camps like yodok. 4. NWO? sorry... don't know what it is 5. Less pollution? because it is only ppl in the capital and the military wich does own a pollution machine 6. worlds best desk? 7.People are not consumed with stress because they have no jobs... 8. Yeah... you have nukes, and NK use them, USA don't
if you want to know what i mean by "the world's best desk" look on the "VICE guide to north korea". of course, there's some unture capitalist propaganda in it, but it mentions the "world's best desk" somewhere in it. the person who created the guide admitted it himself that the desk was better than any other.
haha that is not the world's best desk. I have antique furniture that was designed with significantly more complexity than that desk. It was included in that documentary as a symbol of the gun Il has to your heads
If you want to see propaganda, look no further than communist nations. Communist nations can only survive by utilizing the army and using propaganda to show "how happy and how rich" their country is. I am fortunate to live in Canada as I love my country for its democratic values and honesty to its people. I hope NK will enter an era of peace and open their borders to the world in my lifetime.
