The United States on Dec. 10 imposed new sanctions on North Korea under President Joe Biden’s administration, targeting North Korean Minister of People’s Armed Forces Ri Yong Gil and the Central Public Prosecutors Office links to human rights abuses.
In a statement, the U.S. Department of Treasury said the North Korean Central Public Prosecutors Office and court system had used to prosecute and punish persons for political wrongdoing in a legal process “involving fundamentally unfair trials.”
