A Terrifying Look Inside the Nightmarish World Of North Korea’s Prison Camps

Mar. 22, 2013 11:49am

[Authors’ note: The following images are disturbing. Please proceed with caution.]

Rumors of North Korea’s allegedly Holocaust-style concentration camps have long been the source of concern and outrage for some in the West.

Indeed, between firsthand accounts from supposed escapees and disturbing satellite photos that seem to prove the existence of labor camps, it appears North Korea has a terrifying amount of control over its people. And now, a collection of drawings that has seen a recent surge in Internet traffic is drawing attention to the issue once again.

Alleged Firsthand Accounts of North Koreas Prison Camps

Detailed satellite photos reveal the existence of camps North Korea says don’t exist. (Daily Mail).

As reports of torture and unspeakable inhumanities continue to leak out of the Hermit Kingdom, a portrait of murder and suppression has slowly emerged — one that has the United Nations Human Rights Council considering an inquiry into possible crimes against humanity.

But although an “inquiry” sounds like a good first step, it may not be enough. If reports from those who say they managed to escape North Korea’s prison system prove accurate, perhaps something stronger than an “inquiry” will be required from the international community.

Alleged Firsthand Accounts of North Koreas Prison Camps

Of North Korea’s 24 million people, roughly 150,000-200,000 have mysteriously “disappeared,” according to the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea. (Screen grab).

And speaking of supposed first-hand accounts, CBS News’ “60 Minutes” in December sat down with Shin Dong-hyuk, an escapee who claims he was born, raised, tortured, and starved in Camp 14, the most notorious of North Korea’s “political prisons.”

Alleged Firsthand Accounts of North Koreas Prison Camps

Shin Dong-hyuk says he was kept prisoner for 23 years because of “political crimes” his grandfather may or may not have committed. (Screen grab).

His story is terrifying:

In case you don’t have time to watch Dong-hyuk recount his life as a prisoner, here are some illustrations from another ​alleged escapee that seem to corroborate his claims (note: the source of these drawings has not yet been confirmed):

      More examples of liberal ignorance. I agree with the many who suggest a brief internment for Mr. Rodman at the gulags. Maybe a month or so…just to get a ‘feel’ of things. Afterwards, let get a second opinion from Dennis to see if he has mounting accolades for the dictator in charge.

      Dennis Rodman has no clue where N. Korea is on a map, even though he’s been there. Ask him to point it out on a map today, and he won’t even know where to begin. He is a useful idiot. He has no clue that N. Korea is even communist. He was probably sent with a message and told, “Here, give this note to Kim, would ya?” That’s why N. Korea has ramped up their belligerence since his departure I would bet. It wouldn’t suprise me.

      If you need our help, we’ll send our troops over while we sew another star onto the flag!

      I like your thinking.

      Even though we don’t do that, many people still accuse us of being ‘imperialistic’!

      So, we don’t take their territory, that leaves us with the role of policeman…

      Like it, or not, we have a moral obligation (in my eyes) to spread freedom, but there is also the tendency to overdo it.

      The history of the Korean War has the answers to how this rotten regime has been propped up for decades….in a single sentence I would say this…The Chinese Reds and a weak kneed President named Truman (who would not back up MacArthur at a crucial point in time IE late summer 1951 when UN forces had the N Koreans on the ropes) are mainly responsible IMHO.

Much more competent fighters than even the most elite formations in the Middle Eastern dictatorships. Of that I can assure you. The question is however, would this army fight to the last man for a rotten regime ? That’s million dollar question we’ve been asking ourselves since 1954.

      The North Korean gulags are the places that haunt me the most. Sometimes I think about them and cry. Iran also has prisoners who are so badly treated I could not even begin to describe. Of course, there are others. Why is the doctor who helped us with Bin Laden facing this kind of evil in Pakistan when he should have been praised and rewarded? It’s one of the reasons I cannot stand the spoiled occupiers. They think they got it tough? Not fair, not equal, they whine. Too bad; then go spend a month in the gulag and become humbled, because that is what your selfish whiny ass needs.

      Hitler did take away arms from the Jews in 1938, but the quote above has never been attributed to him. Here are a couple of quotes that are attributed to him and just as haunting: “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so.” “Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let’s not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order.”

      Unfortunately, if they let it happen, then the “no guns” thing means they let those be taken away first. The problem with the N.

    I’d bet that the stroies are more true than false and since the young KIm Jong has taken over it’s probably even worse because, I’m sure, none of the elites really think he’d harm them or tell them to stop. It just is a pathetic approach to human life and the tradegy in all of this is that it doesn’t have to be this way. The pain and suffering through out the entire country is probably at epidemic levels and nothing will be better until someone intervenes.

      Why there is no global outrage at this is beyond me. China? Massive debt crisis? S. Korea has shown the potential for the people of Korea, it might be a good thing to liberate and unite the peninsula. Considering, @No_More_War, we are LEGALLY at war with N. Korea still.

      Libs love to talk about human rights but can’t seem to get past the fact that often it means a strong country must take the lead in ensuring those rights. BUT, BHO and his handmaidens get the vapors at the thought of the US being that country. Was it not our blessed leader who lamented the fact that it seemed unfair (a favorite word) that the US was the only remaining superpower? Was it not Waffler in Chief who admitted he was “uncomfortable with the concept of ‘victory’”?

      Women suffer daily atrocities under Islam yet when the US, led by a Republican, sought to alleviate that suffering he was branded a warmonger. When the US, led by a Republican, sought to free an ally from occupation: “interventionist”.

      To the Left, the UN is the big brother to whom they run when a scuffle might result in their own nose getting bloodied, little knowing or caring that the big brother is weak, indecisive and ineffectual. But hey, “we tried”. Maybe another inquiry will fix things.

      SORRYFORYOU:
      So when should this be approached? I doubt it you will find very many Bush supporters here (He wouldn’t even secure the borders) and prior to that we had a bigger evil to deal with, i.e. ussr (no caps intended). SO, the question is, “When should it be approached and action taken?” How long have we known of these atrocities? It’s only been the last 20 years +- and we didn’t know exactly what was going on, the country (N.Korea) is blacked out. You need to be a little more fair about this one because the bulk of information is recently arising due to the internet and smart phones. This country and her military is spread thin and BHO is even thinning the heard more.

      @ BenzinVasser & Sorry for you

      I think this really hit the public consciousness & that of the news media (do they have one?) in the 1990s. There was the famine at north Korea & there were even films of bodies floating in the rive on the border of China & North Korea of people who did not make their escape because of starvation.

      What could wee do about it? Nothing. We had Clinton in charge when we were the lone superpower & not overstretched. Clinton did send Madeleine Albright, food aid, oil & 2 light water nuclear reactors (which we started to build). Kim Jong Il also scored an autographed basket ball & maybe got some cigars to play with.

      Bush had to cope with the Recession that Clinton left him, late start in turnover of power, stalled appointments in the Spring of 2001 & then 911. Then the normally supine media got vertical & started harranging Bush to treat North Korea like Clinton did.

      The only thing to due is to land spec ops in North Korea take over & paralyze their central command, execute their leader & top generals & then tell China to shove it, no more games. Along with telling China they have Vietnam to the south East, India to the southwest & oh by the way I am a cowboy (Am. President) do you want to play a game. At that point China is not going to do much.

      Declining economic base, devaluing currency, over reaching overly strict government regulations, the increasing utilization of tyrannical state agencies, the militarization of police forces, the ignoring of constitutional protections, the resistance of the executive to refuse to deny the use of force on its citizens without due process. Pap Pap is entirely correct in their summation. If the country keeps going in this direction (without abatement) the only result is the economic and political situation similar to North Korea.

      Kiba, do not be this naive, please. I did a term paper on North Korea last year in college where I studied nothing but (well, a bit about China) North Korea, and let me tell you, after reading a book written by Kim Jong Il’s apostate Japanese Chef who went back to Japan to see his family on a government leave and never returned after what he saw in North Korea–that stuff goes on and has been going on for decades now.

      Tell me how in the heck North and South Korea, who share the same peninsular land, North Korea can be suffering from severe food shortages and famine, yet South Korea is doing just fine. It has to do with the type of government and economic system in which they have adopted. During the last major famine in the 1990′s, millions were starving, dying, and eating their own children (in some cases), and the United States (should I say “us”) and the U.N. gave some aid and relief to Kim Jong Il so he could help his people. It was something like $80 million in aid given to him, and his apostate Japanese chef said that he spent something like $60 million on himself and his loyal regime. He bought $20 million worth of Mercedes Benz’s to give out to his regime, and many more millions in Rolex watches to give to them also.

      Yet, there are many people among us here today, in America nonetheless, who believe Communism to be a much more fair and “equal” system to live under. Talk about the wealth gap, here is some serious evidence of INEQUALITY.

      “Equality” is the most dangerous idea that has caused the death of millions, more so than anything else ever in history. I’m referring to the dangerous concept of equality in everything, especially equality of outcome. This is basically Communism in a nutshell–fighting for equality, and to make all those who may have ever made a small profit in their life, just simply disappear.

      N Korea has one the largest standing armies in the world (hard to believe but they do). S Korea has no hope of matching that without a total conversion of it’s economy and civilians onto a complete total war footing…Of course such an action would force N Korea to act before the S could gather enough strength…that is why other free nations must come to it’s aid if it is invaded once again…Hell even the US Military (ground forces) is but a fraction of the strength of the N Korean Army (outright numbers of infantry etc). The Wests advantages lay with combined forces working in concert together much like the Blitz Krieg doctrine allowed the German Army to take on forces far more powerful but totally route them (France/Belgium in My-June 1940) because of new tactics and combined arms (Air Force, Infantry , Armored Corps, Artillery all working together) applied en masse at weak points…….

Don’t get me wrong as I blame both republicans and democrats for the erosion of our rights. My daughter and a friend started a blog. They consider themselves “volentariests”. Right or wrong it is their political opinion. The sight consists of homeschool and homesteading blogs. It has received less than 100 hits. The government has put a flag on the site for suspicious activity. Won’t
      say what is suspicious. Just that it is. They have done nothing wrong yet they are now being monitored for their POLITICAL OPINION. This is happening under the obama administration. To lots of folks. The small o in obama is intentional. The president who is supposed to represent me has called me and those who feel the same as me over illegal immigration an Enemy. So maybe if we see a government to worry about, it’s because the government has GIVEN us reason too.

      Communism took a long time to come about. You can see the case being made for it among French writers as far back as 1809. It was around before Karl Marx.

      Communism did not start killing people big time until 1918. The point is just because something is not fully implemented, does not mean that you can say it is harmless & ignore all the proponents.

      The problem with Agenda 21 is for one it is central planning. It is an elite telling us we know what is best. Decentralized systems can be better at solving problems such as hunger & scarcity than top down heirarchical systems like communism with their 5 year central plans.
