Have you ever wondered what it’s really like to sentenced to years and years of hard labor for actions that wouldn’t be called “crimes” in most of the world? Ever wanted to visit a site where show trials have taken place, where defendants were later sentenced to death for trumped-up charges of spying for the American imperialists? Now’s your chance, with Swedish North Korea tour operator Korea Konsult. From their October newsletter:
You wish is our command! Visit the central court of Pyongyang and meet Korean judges to receive a legal consultation or ask questions about the legal system. What are you waiting for? Start here. Book today
Presumably this is an offer and not a threat…
One may wonder how these legal consultations go down. “What is my best course of action if I have taken part in an anti-state demonstration, violating article 59, chapter 3, of North Korea’s criminal law?”.
