Human Rights Watch reported that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) “systematically violates the rights of its population” such as organized political opposition, free media, religious freedom, and functioning civil society. Serious problems such as detention, lack of due process, and ill-treatment of detainees still remain as serious and pervasive problems. Also, the government “periodically publicly executes citizens for stealing state property, hoarding food, and ‘anti-socialist’ crimes”.
