Chang In-suk [1], head of the North Korean Defectors’ Association in Seoul at the time, says Lee Soon-ok is a liar. The Guardian tackles the question, "Why do North Korean defector testimonies so often fall apart?" [2]
Interesting. Do you have any information on what was suspected to be exaggerated? I read up a bit on Chang In-suk, and saw the Guardian's reference to forum posters on NKnet (who doubted she was imprisoned), but couldn't find any of the original posts or supporting evidence.
This sort of stuff would be really really bad to fabricate IMO, considering the scale of known-true suffering going on in North Korea.
