Question 5

Q.5.1

To: Attorney General Choi Chol-Su (North Korea)
      Attorney General Dat Nguyen (Vietnam)
      Attorney General José Abreu (Cuba)
      Attorney General Li Na (China)

Department of Human Rights
North Korea, Vietnam, China & Cuba

The citizens of North Korea, China, Vietnam and China have limited internet access. Only a small percentage of these countries have access to the internet.
In North Korea, people are limited to only domestic-websites which are government run. As of 2016, there are only 1579 IP Addresses in the country. Only a small portion of the country has access to the world wide web (Internet in North Korea, 2016).
In Cuba, internet is illegal in private homes, it is only available at government owned internet cafes. Cuba is slowly moving forward as the are restricted by costs, but the majority of the island doesn't  even have access to computer, let alone internet (Internet in Cuba, 2016).
China is actually the largest population on the internet but with China's population at 1.3 Billion people as of 2016 and 67.8% of the country living on less than $5 a day, its highly unlikely that these people have access to internet or computer for that matter. That"s 937 Million people unexposed to the digital world (Internet in China, 2016).
Its the same story with Vietnam, the country has 90 Mill people and only 36 Million people are online as of 2013 (Internet in Vietnam, 2016). Having been there myself I can say from experience that finding an internet cafe in Hanoi is extremely difficult.

Everyone has the right to access, use, create, and publish digital media or to access and use computers, other electronic devices, or communications network.
Its called Digital Rights.

PETITION
Allow the people of North Korea, China, Cuba & Vietnam their right to have access to the world wide web. Allow them their Digital Right. 

*The above mentioned Atorney Generals of each country, respectivley has to take this matter
up with the countries higher authority and implement more internet cafes and make 
the internet more accessible
