Is there a fence?
[edit]What we have is several reports over the past decade of various fences between 10-20km long. There is no evidence there is a fence along the thousand kilometre border, or anything like that. There is no evidence, even, that these fences were permanent structures.
As both countries use the river, it would be impractical for access to be blocked by a fence on either side.
Below are two photos I took in 2012 at Dandong in China. The far side of the stream is North Korea. There is no fence as described in the article.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:04, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- Note: this is the same place as the photograph in the SBS report I just added to the article. That photograph does show a small fence, but it is not as described in the article. It would not present any serious problem for someone wanting to leave North Korea. There has been a request for a photo for this article since 2009. But it is very hard to produce a photo of something that doesn't exist.--Jack Upland (talk) 10:04, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
