PYONGYANG, January 20, 2021, TON: In December 2020, a new “anti-reactionary law” was imposed and this week the media reported new details regarding the law.

The local media cited the explanatory material for the law and said that the parents will be charged on behalf of the children violating the ban, up to 15 years of imprisonment for being caught with media from South Korea, and punishments for production, distribution of adult content, use of unregistered televisions, radios, computers, foreign cell-phones and/or other electronic devices.

Reports state that written remarks by Kim, the leader has criticized the common practice in the South of using terms such as “oppa” (older brother) and “dong-saeng” (younger sister, brother) to refer to non-relatives.

Importing banned material from South Korea leads to life sentence, while those caught importing large amounts of content from the U.S. or Japan could face death.

The new law apparently increased some penalties and tightened limitations in the government’s war on external information, said Sokeel Park of Liberty in North Korea, which supports defectors.

The access to information concerning the border trade with China, has quickly changed the pattern that only allows state media to focus on making the leader Kim Jong prominent said Tae Yong-ho, the first North Korean defector to be elected as a South Korean lawmaker.
