Yeonmi Park is a defector from the DPRK. She is backed by a U.S. libertarian organization called the Atlas Foundation. Her stories are highly inconsistent and contain large amounts of false information.[1]
Lies
Park claims that her best friend's mother was executed at a stadium in Hyesan in 2002, but there have not been any public executions in the DPRK since 1999. Park initially said that she was executed for watching a James Bond movie, but later said it was a DVD from South Korea. Neither of these actions would likely not lead to an execution or even an arrest.[1]
