Smiling widely as the
realisation of his escape sunk in, a 35 year-old North Korean man said he would
never again have to fear the ruthless tyranny of his
home country.
The man stepped across the
border into neighbouring South Korea yesterday, telling those present about the
terrifying regime he left behind.
“It’s frightening; brutal.
It’s like a police state,” the man said, thanking his South Korean friends for
rescuing him. “You can get killed there for saying the wrong thing, or just
having the wrong haircut. It’s totally crazy up there”.
As the world’s opinion of
North Korea’s leader begins to soften, the escapee warned people to be careful.
“The guy’s a maniac. Unpredictable, erratic, cruel.
I wouldn’t believe a word
he said”.
