On October 9, 1983, North Korean agents planted a bomb at the Martyrs' Mausoleum in Rangoon, Burma, attempting to assassinate the fifth president of South Korea, Chun Doo-hwan. Although Chun was unharmed due to an act of providence, fourteen South Korean presidential advisers, journalists, and security officials were killed, together with four Burmese nationals. One out of three North Korean assassins survived.
This is the story of Kang Min-chol, the lone survivor of the 1983 North Korean terrorist hit squad.

On Wednesday, March 29, 2023, HRNK featured its latest report, The Root of All Evil: Money, Rice, Crime & Law in North Korea by Joshua Stanton.
The Root of All Evil examines the record of UN and U.S. sanctions implementation against North Korea, and it proposes a long-term, multilateral legal strategy...to find, freeze, forfeit, and deposit the proceeds of the North Korean kleptocracy into international escrow.
By forfeiting misspent funds and disbursing them for humanitarian purposes, Stanton argues, a coalition [of like-minded nations] can compel Kim Jong-un to make better decisions with the wealth that rightfully belongs to the North Korean people.
