1/ For decades, brave North Koreans risked their lives to tune into foreign broadcasts. These weren’t just signals—they were lifelines to truth, piercing the ironclad wall of Pyongyang’s censorship and propaganda. Now, the U.S. and South Korean governments have halted these broadcasts. (DW)

2/ The silence is deafening. This is not just a policy shift. It’s a betrayal of millions trapped under one of the world’s most repressive regimes. There’s no doubt the brutal North Korean regime is rejoicing—this silence empowers oppression.

3/ Silence from governments must be met with voices of solidarity. The private sector and the international community must step up in uncertain times like this. HRF’s Flash Drives for Freedom program is that voice, serving as a beacon in the blackout.

4/ FDFF has delivered over 138,000 flash drives into North Korea, each filled with uncensored books, films, and news. That’s 62 million hours of reading. 2.6 million hours of footage. Truth, delivered byte by byte. Visit flashdrivesforfreedom.org and support the fight for freedom.
