Morbid Illustrations of a North Korean Concentration Camp
North Korea’s Kim dynasty is a three-generation lineage of leadership descending from the country’s first leader, Kim Il-sung, in 1948.
Because of the hard labor and conditions, the majority of prisoners die of starvation, illnesses, over-work, or torture.
An escapee from North Korea who spent six years in one of the camps shared his chilling illustrations of conditions in prison with the UN Human Rights organization. We have the technology to see where these atrocities take place and we don’t have the ability to stop it. China backs North, South Koreans fear the cost of unification and really don’t want to invade North.

Due to that, many prisoners are beaten and executed for stress reliefGirl getting eaten by guard dogs-even when guard dogs kill young girls, it’s not a crime. In fact, the guards are praised for training their dogs to be vicious.Clock torture. A pregnant woman is subjected to torture until dehydrated. The ward calls a time and the woman has to recreate the clock showing the time using her body.Weakness Criteria. Setting 170cm as standard height, if subject is 42kg, he/she is categorized as weakness level 1. If 40kg, weakness level 2. If 38kg and under, weakness level 3 and is about to die.Dead bodies storage-because rats eat the eyeballs first, most corpses don’t have eyes.
