Kim Jong-un has reportedly ordered that divorcing couples be sent to labour camps for up to six months, with women potentially facing longer sentences.
The North Korean leader has declared that ending a marriage demonstrates anti-socialist sympathies and warrants punishment.
“reports Radio Free Asia (RFA).”
can we ban radio free asia sources pls, thank you.
If this was real why wouldn’t they just ban divorce?
Are we expected to believe you go to the divorce office and they’re like “okay, and once you sign the divorce papers, we’ll get you going off to the labor camps”

If one of the parties is at fault in all cases of divorce why are they both being punished?
This information makes it much more plausible, sure, but it still doesn’t prove anything.
Considering the source, i’d need actual evidence that this has been said by the party, any physical evidence of this at all is necessary in my eyes. Legal documents shouldn’t be that hard to comeby, the claim is that kim jong un himself said it, is there no recording of this? Why not?
Was this not on their news? Why not?
Considering this source often tells plausible lies, I don’t believe them without a shred of evidence

this is the level of lies that source spews out, this being somewhat plausible really just isn’t enough when we factor in the source knowingly lies regularly. To me that just means they did their due diligence to make the lie believable.
If the source regularly knowingly lies, plausibility just isn’t enough.

There’s also the fact that this source does that systematically for funding, there is no less reliable of a source, if radio free asia told me the sky is blue in NK I wouldn’t buy it.
Are you saying it’s not true based solely on the source?
What if it is true? Then can we keep them around?
RFA is expressly anti communist propaganda run by the USA government. Their source for this piece is “a guy told us”.
It’s hard to prove a negative, but I mean it does seem absolutely stupid.
Yes, that source has been caught lying countless times, even if was true I wouldn’t trust this source, and they provided no evidence.
If it ends up being true, it’s a broken clock situation, and the source should STILL be banned.
The only time RFA tells the truth is because they are lying twice
