Interesting statistics. I must say, I find it surprising that China doesn't make the list given their systematic suppression of the rights of the people of Tibet including savage violence, unlawful imprisonment for long periods merely for criticising the regime or for advocating the use of the Tibetan language etc. But I suppose that just reflects how many even worse places there are in Asia?

This quiz could use an update. The situation in Yemen is possibly the worst humanitarian disaster on earth at the moment, far worse than North Korea.

Yeah I thought it was super weird that Yemen wasn't even on here, until I realized how old the quiz was.
