“Don’t contact me again, your son is also raising well, so we have nothing to hope for if you and I live well there. Please don’t ask, don’t question, and don’t send anyone home again. That is the way to help us.”

A source from North Hamgyong Province told Daily NK on the 4th, “On the 29th of last month, Kim Mo (60s), who lives in Hoeryong, refused to accept money from his daughter in the south for the Lunar New Year. I didn’t get any money,” he said.
According to the source, Kim is raising a 10-year-old son of a daughter he left behind while defecting from North Korea. He has made a living taking care of his grandchildren with the money his daughter often sends him. Then, in October of last year, when a remittance broker was arrested by the National Security Agency, Mr. Kim was also angry.
It is said that Kim was investigated for 15 days by the National Security Agency, and was subjected to all kinds of verbal abuse and assault in the process. He was even subjected to a house search, and not only lost up to 5,500 Chinese yuan (RMB), but also received a one-month punishment for training.
Since then, intelligence agents have been monitoring every move and following him wherever he goes, so it is said that Kim complained of psychological pain.
It is said that Mr. Kim, who was upset after receiving money like this, said this without receiving the money the remittance broker gave him.
“Don’t contact me again, your son is also raising well, so we have nothing to hope for if you and I live well there. Please don’t ask, don’t question, and don’t send anyone home again. That is the way to help us.”
A source said, “How much would the security officials frighten the families of defectors to make life difficult and then take them back without receiving any money,” the source said. As the turn progresses, I am even more terrified.”
He continued, “Now, even if North Korean defectors send money, their families are rejecting them.” “There are more and more residents who want to live comfortably even if they eat porridge because they can’t use the money their families have been hard at work, they have to be taken away from the security guard and have to face legal punishment.” and conveyed the local atmosphere.
I hope to see the end of this shit in my lifetime.
