Mr. Kim Hyung-Soo, a biophysicist from an elite cadre in North Korea, defected to South Korea in 2009. Though his wife was able to escape, his mother was arrested and died in a North Korean prison camp. As the United Nations General Assembly gets set to vote on a resolution condemning North Korea for gross human rights violations, join us as David Hawk, senior advisor at the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, interviews Mr. Kim about the human rights situation in North Korea and his unique experience as a researcher at the “Long Life Health Institute”, (Mansumugang Institute), an organization dedicated to preserving the longevity of the Kim family.
