Slaves to the Bomb: The Role and Fate of North Korea's Nuclear Scientists - HRNK

Slaves to the Bomb Report Cover Art.

To understand the challenges faced by the personnel who are involved in North Korea’s nuclear program, it is crucial to understand the recruitment, education, and training processes through the lens of human rights. This report offers a starting point toward that understanding.

North Korea’s scientists and engineers are forced to work on the nuclear weapons program regardless of their own interests, preferences, or aspirations. These individuals may be described as “modern-day slaves” for the Kim regime’s nuclear weapons program. They are “slaves to the bomb.”
