Defectors for Democracy

Giving actual meaning to the D in DPRK

North Korean defectors in South Korea formed an alliance Tuesday to try to bring democracy to their homeland, the first time the growing number of those who fled the impoverished country united under a single banner.

The number of North Korean defectors in South Korea has recently topped 10,000, most of them having arrived in recent years. They have launched several separate groups, undermining efforts to have a single voice on issues regarding North Korea.

The defectors _ who are often marginalized in South Korea, where they face prejudice and difficulty adjusting to capitalism _ said they hoped the alliance will become a force that will eventually bring democracy and freedom to the North.

“We will seek ways to expose and dismantle North Korea’s political prison camps by cooperating with international human rights groups,” the newly formed Committee for Democratization of North Korea said in a statement.

I love democracy, it’s the worst form of government except every other form.

It is important to remember when given the choice between defending liberty or defending democracy, always go for the former.
