From the streets of Seoul, the European Parliament, a new generation of North Korean defectors stepping into the limelight, to tell their personal stories, highlighting human rights violations in their own homes.
This is a major change for the defectors society, especially in South Korea, over the years they live in the margins of society. Work in menial jobs, and keep quiet to avoid for fear of being labeled a "red" or "North" Sympathiser attention.
Not any more.

Pyongyang does not have any indication that a new United Nations Commission of Inquiry expect from POW camp survivors and other information gathering documentation may constitute crimes against humanity, violations of the cooperation.
Defectors like Lee would like to do one thing is to keep focused on North Korea, it is not just when Pyongyang grabbing headlines, as it has recently threatened to launch a nuclear war on the United States and South Korea.
Part of the latest UN sanctions against Pyongyang in February's third nuclear test triggered anger, which lasted two months, this one.
"North Korean human rights issues raised concern the regime make headlines, but the attention is not on," Lee told about 100 people in the streets of Seoul rally.

Escape freely on crutches
Defectors to extraordinary lengths to escape.

This is a key plank of former President Kim Dae-jung's sunshine policy. In the end of 2008, Lee Myung-bak became president on Pyongyang to take a tougher stance.
Keep quiet is hard-wired to the oldest defectors psychological, even now, years later, they fled, leaving behind family members.
"Of course, I root for these brave voices, said:" Xu Su gyong, in her 40s, who works in the rainbow youth, non-governmental organizations in the center of Seoul, the welfare of refugees traitors.
