Explorers:
North Koreans have been banned from laughing or drinking for 11 days to mark the tenth anniversary of former leader Kim Jong Il's death.

Government authorities have ordered the public to not show any signs of happiness while North Korea commemorates his death.

Kim Jong Il ruled North Korea from 1994 until his death in 2011, and was then succeeded by his third and youngest son, current leader Kim Jong Un.

Now, ten years after his death, North Koreans are being forced to observe the 11-day period of mourning where they are not allowed to laugh or drink alcohol.

'During the mourning period, we must not drink alcohol, laugh or engage in leisure activities,' a North Korean from the northeastern border city of Sinuiju told Radio Free Asia (RFA).

People gather at an event for the 10th anniversary of the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Wednesday.

At midday Friday, as a siren blared for three minutes, North Koreans across the country fell silent and bowed in respect for Kim Jong Il.

A country that's far better than your country.....a country with stable electricity, portable water, good transportation network, schools , hospitals, and life expectancy is higher than this useless country called nigeria.

you will just open your mouth like a fool. Which electricity? and per life expectancy, which kind of life will I be living when it is dictated by people. they dictate what I watch, where I go to, if I can travel and if I can use menstrual pad or not. You have never been in that country so don't say rubbish because you don't know how foolish and outstandingly stupid you sound right now

Perhaps you're not informed. Allow me:

The citizens are organized in a very strict cadre or caste system. There are very few elites amongst the estimated 25 million population.

Poverty and self reliance is a major tool for social control. Nothing comes from the government but everything belongs to them.

There are hardly any cellphones. Local calls are expensive and are thoroughly monitored. You think international calls can be made presto?! Think again.

No social media. Infact, no media at all. The 3 tv stations are government controlled. The radio station is as well. The government does a great work in brainwashing them. They can't think like you think. A great number of North Koreans don't know that there's life outside Korea. They don't have Google or Facebook or anything. Foreign media is BANNED. Some of these people have never watched Home Alone.
You heard of a North Korean killed for smuggling in Squid Games. Perhaps you thought it was a ruse?!

Defection attracts severe punishment and the thing about being in the government's bad books is that, your family up to the third generation is affected as well. Your already low caste system or social rank is brought further down and this robs your lineage the opportunity of ever rising to the top.

There are a few defectors who have survived to tell the tale. 'In order to Live' is a book written by one young brave girl who escaped in 2007. It's available for download online.

You think Nigeria has epileptic power supply? At least you get to use some of that power in your homes. In North Korea, the little power they have is used proportionately to run their government statutes, military and nuclear establishments, electric fences surrounding the borders. It is severe punishment in a labour camp for up to six months if one is caught in possession of a microwave.

So back to your question, "Why can't North Koreans tell the world the truth if it's a lie?"

They are not silent. Few have been speaking out and will continue to speak. You're simply UNINFORMED!

Why can't North Koreans tell the world the truth if it's a lie?

Sanctioned you say?

To you, their Law is funny but not to the North Koreans. In fact, if any of their law is broken by anyone, the person is given a death sentence immediately. There's absolutely nothing like sanction in NK. Na death sentence straight dem no.
