U.N. Human Rights Rapporteur is a U.S. puppet..."There's no reason to talk to each other".

North Korea has slammed U.N. Special Rapporteur on North Korean Human Rights Elizabeth Salmon as a puppet and special subordinate of the U.S., claiming that there will be no future interaction.

In a statement posted to the Korean Central News Agency today in the name of a spokesman for the Korean Human Rights Research Association, North Korea belatedly took issue with the report submitted by Special Rapporteur Salmon to the 79th UN General Assembly last month.

North Korea countered that the legislative measures, including the Reaction Against Rebel Act, which the U.N. raised in its report were emergency quarantine measures that secured the people's right to life and were intended to protect our ideas and systems from vicious ideological and cultural infiltration schemes by the U.S. and the West.

At that time, the U.N. report pointed out that North Koreans were heavily restricted by their freedom of movement during the COVID-19 pandemic and that their freedom of expression was seriously violated by the introduction of the so-called "three major evil laws," including the Pyongyang Cultural Protection Act, the Youth Culture Security Act, and the Reaction Thought Elimination Act.
