You think north Koreans have rights? The ability to move implies independence. You think people living in one of the poorest dictatorships in the world have independence and rights?
Contribute to the state or die - that us all north Koreans have.
Fleeing, not moving, fleeing is a crime. You’re abandoning the mother country and your relatives still living there will pay for your crimes. That’s the government’s stance on “moving”
Usually the plan is to go to China and then flee to a friendlier country. There are also people in China who work with North Koreans to help them defect.
edit 2 : if i recall a vid i watched long ago - the closest “western” country that won’t send them back is either Cambodia or Laos - which means they have to travel the entirety of China - a country that loves to send them back - to get to that country. not easy as china is huge.
