Political repression in North Korea

People in North Korea suffer political repression from every aspect of daily life, including speech, travel, employment, and religion. The Kim dynasty has ruled North Korea for three generations. It consolidates its supreme centralised power through the guidance of the political ideology of Juche and Songun. Juche is criticised by many scholars and is perceived as the practice of totalitarianism. Songun refers to 'military-first Policy', which means that the Korean People's Army has the highest political, economic, and resource-allocation priority, sacrificing other parts of society.
