It was known that Hyundae Asan would pay four hundred thousand dollars to North Korea as compensation for the car accident which occurred at the Onjungli resting place located at Mt. Geumgang at the end of last year.
Seeing the news, I (the reporter) thought that ��only the dead people were pitiable'. It would also be similar to what other defectors think.
Although North Korea said that the compensation would be spent for treatment, funeral expenses and encouraging bonuses for the suffering families, it is obvious that in reality, the families would only get a small portion of it.
In North Korea there is no such national compensation for car accident causalities. So it is pitiful to think that the North Korean government did take away this compensation without giving it to the car accident-related families.
Because of the system of no car insurance in North Korea, offenders must compensate the injured parties for the car accident themselves. If the offenders do not have the ability for compensation, then they must go to prison. And if they have the ability, they pay money for it. The compensation is usually a TV or about one hundred thousand won ($35). |

| I love that site. I've had it bookmarked for a couple of weeks. North Korea as seen through the eyes of its dissidents. A must to read. |

| Well, I guess now we know why KJ Ill-boy was asking for TVs and DVD Players instead of food after that bomb exploded a year or two ago. |

| "The Aquariums of Pyongyang" is enough to read about that country. |
