NORTH KOREA CONCENTRATION CAMPS

North Korea has 12 massive concentration camps for political prisoners. After their discovery by US spy satellites, North Korea closed 6 concentration camps close to the borders and transferred its inmates to the remaining 6 concentration camps in the interior of North Korea.

North Koreans who enter these concentration camps are never released. They are underfed and overworked until they die, are shot or used as human guinea pigs in experiments to test North Korea's chemical and biological weaponry.

North Korea's concentration camps are calibrated to extract the greatest amount of labor (or test results) per food input. The annual death rate at some of these concentration camps exceeds 10%.

Who ends up in North Korea concentration camps?

Any North Korean who displeases the Kim Jong-il regime, plus three generations of the perpetrator's family. For example, if a North Korean complains to a "friend" about the diminishing food rations provided by Kim Jong-il regime, the man, his wife, children and grandchildren (three generations) are arrested and shipped off to the concentration camps.

And if a man complains against Kim Jong-il in public, the North Korean police arrest and ship off to the concentration camps not only the speaker and family, but also everyone (and their families) who listened to the speaker without reporting it. In North Korea, it is a crime to hear someone else’s dissent, which is given no room to gather.

But the single largest segment of North Korean concentration camp population, estimated to be maintained at approximately 200,000, didn't end up there after complaining. They are Christians, whose belief in God instead of Kim Jong-il was crime enough. Smuggling Bibles into North Korea, of course, is considered more than crime enough.
