North Korean state media labeled a Korea Institute for National Unification paper on human rights as an anti-DPRK "smear campaign" on Thursday, claiming that South Korea's own human rights record is so poor that citizens there commit suicide everyday.
Pyongyang's response to the White Paper on Human Rights in North Korea 2013 quoted a spokesperson from the DPRK Association for Human Rights Studies, who described the report as "slandering the dignity and social system in the DPRK" and alleged that the publication of the paper was "politically-motivated".
