For these reasons, it is an \u201cimportant matter\u201d to educate these people. <\/p>\n<p>The report says, recently enemies have been accompanying the evil transgressors to South Korea (the defectors who defected to South Korea) and have been targeting individual travelers, buying their hearts with bribes or illegal ways. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to a customs officer, many of the individual travelers carry cold and worn out clothes not good enough to be worn in their bags.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne traveler was caught in the office for taking a CD and recording tapes without any thinking because an unknown person gave him some money and asked him to take in those things to North Korea.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>About this kind of phenomenon, the document further orders, \u25b2 It must be taught that we will win no matter what because we have Kim Jong Il and military-first politics \u25b2 It must be taught so the people have national dignity \u25b2The people must be taught about anti-republic force forming in the border area and neighbor countries, and \u25b2 The people must be taught to do good and right things for the state and the nation.. <\/p>\n<p><b><font color=blue>Frequent Order to Educate the People Traveling Abroad<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n<p>In North Korea, you have to receive ideological education at the military security agency at least two hours a day for a week. <\/p>\n<p>In June 2003, Moon Gui Shik (age 52, defected to South Korea in 2004) applied for a passport to visit his relative living in China. \u201cBefore we go to China we are educated to go to our relatives and propagate (or teach them) the greatness of \u2018Great Leader\u2019, but the security officers know that if we really propagate it to our relatives, we will be ridiculed. In the end, to avoid such boring education, we have to bribe them,\u201d Moon said. <\/p>\n<p>Moon said he promised the security agency to buy them a CD player, his workplace to bring a sewing machine and only then he was able to receive a permit to travel abroad. <\/p>\n<p>The document obtained is four pages long, published by North Korean Worker\u2019s Party in July 2004. It is known that the government of North Korea frequently sends out such documents of order. <\/p>\n<p>The document had been distributed in all the regional and municipal offices as well as work places, and is only to be taken out by the party cell secretaries and General Federation of Trade Union, Socialist Working Youth League, Korean Democratic Women&#8217;s Union and officers at the level of committee cadres or above.
