As hard as possible. North Korea’s prisons and camps hold about 200,000 people, The regime will punish also those who did participate but did not cry enough or did not seem genuine, along with those accused of criticizing the country’s new leader Kim Jong-un, According to the South Korean website, the North Korean regime organized a round of criticism sessions from December 29th to January 8th. The sessions "created a vicious atmosphere of fear." Along with imposing fear, the authorities are already working hard to build a cult of personality around the new leader Kim Jong-un, son of late Kim Jong-il. “Every day from 7am until 7pm they have vehicles for broadcast propaganda parked on busy roads full of people going to and from work, noisily working to proclaim Kim Jong-un’s greatness,” a source explained to Daily NK. Founded in December 2004, Daily NK regularly reports stories from inside North Korea via a network of informants inside the country, covering mainly human rights issues. The Daily NK is partially funded by the National Endowment for Democracy, an NGO funded by the US Congress.
