North Korea: Number 1 in the World!

Human Rights Watch has bestowed the coveted title of "World's Most Repressive Regime on North Korea as reported here.

A human rights watchdog said Thursday that North Korea is "egregiously violating nearly all international human rights standards."

In its "World Report 2005," a survey of human rights conditions in 60 nations last year, Human Rights Watch said the North Korean regime was the world's most repressive, controlling all aspects of its residents' political, economic and social lives.

Kim the "Ill-Begotten" is certain to take pride in this impressive accomplishment.
