Summary

Kim Jong-un has introduced stricter laws in North Korea, sending both spouses in divorcing couples to labor camps for up to six months, with women often receiving longer sentences.

The regime views divorce as anti-socialist. Previously, only the spouse who initiated the divorce was punished.

Rising divorce rates since COVID-19 lockdowns have persisted despite public humiliation and threats of expulsion from the Korean Workers’ Party.

Reports indicate labor camps house dozens of divorcees, mostly in their late 30s, under harsh conditions.

    Ok? Can you try rereading what we both wrote and explain how that is at all relevant? The BBC is funded by the UK, does that inherently make it an unreliable source/ MI6 propaganda outlet? 🤡

      Why are you so angry? You ok dude?

      If you don’t understand how the RFA is still being funded by the USA in 2024 is relevant to where you said funding cease in 1955 then I don’t know how to help. Unless you only read that article’s headline and not even the first sentence… I’m just trying to provide sources for you since you thought the funding stopped.
