North Korea is intensifying its surveillance of citizens through the widespread installation of surveillance cameras and the collection of biometric data.
North Korea is putting surveillance cameras in schools and workplaces and collecting fingerprints, photographs and other biometric information from its citizens in a technology-driven push to monitor its population even more closely, a report said Tuesday.
The report examined North Korean surveillance technologies through information gained from domestic and international media coverage and publicly announced research at North Korean universities and state organizations.
At present, North Koreans who get caught in activities such as smuggling or distributing illegally imported goods and foreign content can bribe local security services, but, unlike humans, security cameras cannot be bribed,' they said. Williams said the government will push to expand its surveillance network beyond major cities as infrastructure improves.
