After China, now it’s North Korea’s turn to condemn the United States in light of the recent leak regarding the National Security Agency’s (NSA) PRISM surveillance program.

According to Reuters, state newspaper Minju Joson comments that Edward Snowden’s leaks show that the US has spied on both Americans and foreigners.

The publication even goes as far as calling the US “the kingpin of human rights abuses.”

“Each individual is entitled to live and develop with dignity as a social being. But in American society, where the jungle law prevails, only the strong men's rights over the weak men are recognized,” the article reads.

Moreover, North Korea apparently believes that he US is just trying to cover up the “crime” when it says that PRIMS is used to prevent terrorism.
