Uncovering North Korea’s Camp 22

» by GI Korea in: North Korea

Digital Journal has an article posted based on the great research One Free Korea did uncovering the hell that is North Korea’s Camp 22:

Those who have lived to tell the world about Camp 22, located in the bleak northeastern tip of North Korea, can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and all of them are former guards or staff. Incredibly, it’s about the size of Los Angeles.

Of all of North Korea’s network of labor camps and detention facilities, large and small, Camp 22 is the most terrible. There are reports of inhuman experiments carried out on men, women, children, and even infants sent there. The BBC reports that North Korea’s system of spying, thought-control, isolation, and terror may have no equal in human history.

That is how Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il kept the secrets of Camp 22 inside its ten-foot wire fences and distinctive blocky guard posts for decades. That changed when satellite photography went public. Since then, Google Earth has revealed the world’s most secret places to armies of amateur “squints.”  [Digital Journal]

    You are both welcome and hopefully North Korea Freedom Week draws even more attention to the human rights disaster that is the Kim regime.
