Several times in this thread, such as here. Where's your proof?
the "proof" generated via tourists or visits to the DPRK is not proof at all because they were seeing what the DPRK wanted them to see
Remember the young teen that was delivered to the US in critical condition from a labor camp and died after "stealing a poster" with no proof other than a grainy cctv tape that didnt even show his face nor identifying features?
That's not what I was referencing, I was referencing Professor Roland Boer's work. As for Otto Warmbier, his parents denied an autopsy, and he was arrested not just for stealing a sign, but veering off the tourist path into a restricted millitary-controlled zone to do so. He apologized to the DPRK, was treated in one of the DPRK's better hospitals after contracting botulism, and the parents denied an autopsy that would have provided definitive proof backing the "DPRK tortured him to death" narrative.
