Repression in North Korea has increased significantly, according to a U. N. human rights report, making it the world’s most restrictive country.

The report, released on Friday, reviews developments since 2014, based on interviews with over 300 witnesses and victims who escaped the country. It highlights intensified surveillance, the expanded use of forced labor, and more frequent executions.

The death penalty has been introduced for offenses like sharing foreign TV dramas. The report notes that since 2015, citizens face more control over their lives with no other population experiencing such restrictions. While some improvements were noted, such as reduced violence in detention facilities, overall freedoms continue to decline.
