VOICE OF FREEDOM

by Ponmalar


(Inspired from a girl's speech who escaped from north Korea)

A girl fled from North Korea and her story will make us to realize how precious freedom is.

North Korea is an unimaginable country. There is only one channel showed on their television. people of north Korea aren't allowed to sing, say, wear or even think what they want. north Korea is the only country in the world that executed people just for making unauthorized international phone calls. north Korean people are being terrorized today. when she grew up in north Korea, she never saw any love stories between men and women. There was no books, no songs , no movies about love stories. There was no Romeo and Juliet for them. Every single story was heard by them was the propaganda to brain wash people about the Kim dictator.

This girl was born in 1993, and she was abducted at birth. Even before she knew the words of freedom or human rights. North Koreans are desperately seeking and dying for freedom at this moment. When she was 9 years old, she saw her friend's mother was publicly executed. Her crime was watching a Hollywood movie. Expressing doubt about the greatness of the regiment get three generation of family imprisoned or been executed. When she was at her four, she was warned by her mother not even to whisper. She admitted that, at one point she thought the North Korean dictator could read her mind.

Her father died in China, after escaped from North Korea. And she had to bury him at 3 am, in secret. She was 17 years old that time. She could even express her tears cause she afraid to be send back to North Korea.

The day she escaped North Korea, she saw her mother was raped by a Chinese broker. The rapist's real intention was on that girl, but in order to protect her child the mother allowed herself to be raped. North Korea  refugees are about 300,000 are vulnerable in China. 70% of North Korean women, teenage girls are being victimized and sometimes they been sold for $200. Mongolia was her freedom moment. Death or dignity, armed with knife she prepared to kill herself, if she was going to be sent back to North Korea.

She just wanted live as a human and she did it.

North Korea is indescribable. No humans deserve to oppressed just because of their birth place. Last words by her with tears, we need to focus less on the regime, and more on the people who are being forgotten.
