In the next episode on our series on North Korea, we hear from Lee Jun, another North Korean escapee who managed to get out of North Korea in more recent years.

He escaped North Korea with his mother and after walking through China managed to get to Vietnam with the help of South Korean Missionaries. He currently works as a tour guide, offering the only tour to the DMZ in English offered by a North Korean.

CSW team members went on one of his tours of the DMZ in 2024 and were deeply moved by his powerful story. We hope you will be too.

North Korea, or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is a closed, isolated and repressive country. The violations of human rights perpetrated there, including the right to freedom of religion or belief, are among the worst in the world.

Timothy Cho is a North Korean human rights activist and two-time defector. He has been imprisoned four times in North Korea and China.

Cho’s parents fled North Korea during a period of famine known as the “Arduous March”, leaving him to become a homeless member of the “hostile class”, constituted of families of regime defectors.

In this two part episode, join Samuel Jackson-Reed and David Simpson as Timothy details his childhood and his first attempt at escaping from North Korea.
