Page "Human rights in North Korea" Paragraph 17

Reporters Without Borders claims that radio or television sets which can be bought in North Korea are pre-set to receive only the government frequencies and sealed with a label to prevent tampering with the equipment.

It is a serious criminal offense to manipulate the sets and receive radio or television broadcasts from outside North Korea.

In a party campaign in 2003 the head of each party cell in neighbourhoods and villages received instructions to verify the seals on all radio sets.
