North Korea publishes white paper criticising human rights in South

It's true North Korea has published a paper condemning the human rights record of South Korea that takes some real chutzpah coming from country whose human rights record matches that of the former Soviet Union under Stalin.  But, hey if you can't condemn with a straight face what can you condemn?

 “The people of South Chosun are deprived of everything thanks to America. When human rights are infringed upon there is not even a place you can go to complain."
“Democratic rights and political freedoms are mercilessly infringed upon,” the piece continued, referring to South Korea’s practice of deleting pro-North comments made online and the arrest of leftist MP Lee Seok Ki on charges of “plotting a rebellion”.
Specific instances were listed to show the “severe suppression of people’s rights”, including examples of unemployment, suicide and the shutdown of civilian protests.
