Reading https://social.heldscal.la/url/1304890 is like reading science fiction.
The first high official to come out of a country after decades of isolation, it's like the first scene with Six in Battlestar Galactica, or like Trevize and Pelorat meeting Bliss after Gaia having been secluded for centuries. People are studying her every move, and are entranced like it's a fairy visiting.
A murderous, dictatorial fairy, head of a government department that is actually officially called an agitprop department.

@pnathan I didn't mention any torture, and what you are saying agrees with the WP article I linked. I haven't heard of the guy before, so I'm not aware of what ideas have been spread in US media.
All I'm saying is, apparently if you decide on a whim to visit DPRK, you can wind up lost for months and returned dead for desecrating promotional posters.

Only noticed now that the BI URL reveals that they miswrote her name in the original headline.
