10 DAYS IN NORTH KOREA TRAILER
05 NOVEMBER 2014 465

Welcome to North Korea where you have to follow your guide’s instructions and only take pictures of what we say. To some the people are repressed, though they prefer to describe themselves as "protected", at least on camera. Life here is the result of a unique 70 year social experiment in which the people are "shielded" from the "corrupting influence" of the outside world. Few are ever allowed to travel abroad, use the internet or even see foreign films, music or media. The country's dynastic leader, Marshal Kim Jong-un, who inherited the job from his father and grandfather, continues their political heritage. They are still worshiped long after their deaths. An RT film crew was granted rare access to this unique country, which to many, seems to have leaped from the pages of a dystopian novel, to see first-hand what life is really like and what the people really think of their homeland and its leader.

Thousands of North Korean labourers are understood to be working excessive hours for little or no pay in construction sites in Qatar, while Kim Jong-un’s regime pockets their money.

The Guardian has gathered testimonies from North Korean labourers working on construction sites for wealthy new high rise blocks in the emirate, in which people detail their understanding that they are in Qatar to “earn foreign currency for our nation” and how “people like us don’t usually get paid”.

North Korea was accused of “unspeakable atrocities” in its consistent abuse of human rights, which were detailed in a damning UN report issued in February.

The report described the existence of prison camps, systematic torture, starvation and killings under Kim Jong-un’s rule, prompting urgent calls for member states to act against the atrocities. 

Four construction sites have been identified in Qatar that will become Lusail City, reportedly worth £28 billion, and which are understood to be using North Korean labourers.

Workers are told they will receive their money when they return to North Korea, but that after a series of costs are removed from their pay packets, such as food and accommodation are accounted for, they receive as little as 10 per cent of their wages.

Aidan McQuade, director of Anti-Slavery International, told the paper that the descriptions of conditions, which include abuse of vulnerability, withholding of wages an excessive overtime, are “highly indicative of state-sponsored trafficking or forced labour”.

A spokesperson from Qatar’s ministry of labour and social affairs said it takes all issues around worker payment extremely seriously, stating that there are 2,800 North Korean guest workers registered in the emirate, and it has had “no recorded complaints” about their pay or treatment.

“Qatar is determined to continually improve labour conditions for all who work in the country, and will continue to work with NGOs, businesses and other governments to achieve this,” the statement said.

Pa oni su potpuno ludi... imas saku sociopata koja je na vrhu i gomilu oportunista koji ga prate jer na taj nacin ostvaruju dobit...

E, sad... nije to nista novo u istoriji, ali je ipak sokantno pratiti uzivo...

Nego, koje su ono mesto osvojili na Mundijalu?

Mozda je tako...a mozda nije..

Pa onaj spanski pedobear je objasni to kada je rekao - "Nemojte nista da ih pitate, jer oni nista ne znaju. Znaju samo kako izgleda njihovo susedstvo i njihov distrikt. Ne znaju sta jos ima."

A takva izolacija jeste delo sociopate. Neki se ogranice sa par zena u podrumu, neki su u poziciji da zarobe milione ljudi, jer im to neko dopusta.

Mislim, cak i Rusi su krajnje sokirani... sto se vidi iz diskretnih recenica - samo dva puta smo mogli na ulicu, a i tad su sagovornike birali vodici, nigde ne mozes bez vodica... pa onaj deo sa opsesivnom vojskom... i stalni komentari da je sve zavera SAD.

Pa oni su im uveli sankcije...podelili na dve koreje...

Stvarno je nelogicno sto tako misle...

Bolje da misle ko mi...da je to svetska zavera...

Ili jos bolje da su sami krivi sto im se to desava....

Pa makar bili i sociopate...

Што не одете ти и кристал мало у овај рајски систем? 

Pa ja hocu jednog dana sigurno...

Rusija uvela bezvizni rezim sa severnom korejom...

Koliko vidim, oni su u samoizolaciji... potpunoj...
Kao onaj Japanac koji je i posle 50 godina mislio da traje Drugi svetski rat...

Mislim, Staljin, Hitler, japanska osvajanja u Kini i Hirosimi u masovni pogromi... i kao takvi su zastrasujuci, ali na skali od 1 do 10 ovaj je 11.

U odnosu na njega, Kina je prava anarhija...

Doduse, odavno sam primetila da Azijati imaju taj mravlji mentalitet... potpuno neshvatljiv Evropljanima...
