Nordkorea, Sydkorea: En fotografisk Juxtaposition
Nordkorea och Sydkorea kan vara nära geografiskt, men politiskt och kulturellt är de skilda världar. Den kommunistiska är förtryckande, Nordkorea störs av fattigdom, sekretess och stagnation. Enligt en artikel i BBC:
”Aid agencies have estimated that up to two million people have died since the mid-1990s because of acute food shortages caused by natural disasters and economic mismanagement. The country relies on foreign aid to feed millions of its people.
The totalitarian state also stands accused of systematic human rights abuses. Reports of torture, public executions, slave labour, and forced abortions and infanticides in prison camps have emerged. Amnesty International estimates that hundreds of thousands of people are held in detention facilities, in which it says that torture is rampant and execution commonplace.”
