The report, Movies, Markets and Mass Surveillance: Human Rights in North Korea after a Decade of Change, is based on information directly provided to the report’s authors by over 100 respondents, including North Korean escapees. It examines changes in economic modes of survival, information flows from outside North Korea, defection patterns, freedom of expression and criticism of the state, and changes in human rights in law and practice.
