Do you honestly think that North Korea is taking a STUDENT GROUP to see all of their human rights abuses? of course not. The BBC still just got to film a propaganda trip. The BBC was not exposing any of the real human rights abuses in North Korea, so it's pointless. The whole thing was still organized by the government. Whether it was for Economic students or the BBC, the fact is it was organized by the government to make the government look good.

North Korea is probably happy that the BBC filmed this, cause the whole thing was a propaganda trip to begin with.
