patsylabrador Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I only learned about this yesterday and although I knew life is harsh in NK I had no idea about this. When you think of all the things we take for granted that some people don't even know about. Imagine being born in these camps. I hope you find the articles interesting, I think the more people that know, the better. I was shocked by the whole thing. I've posted two articles because they talk of different aspects of this man's life. link link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 That is horrific. That poor man; those poor people. It just beggars belief that this is happening right now. I have just signed a petition on directgov about closing these things. There are only 28 signatures! But then again, if people are in the dark, like I was, then they won't know. Thank you for making me aware of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 What a horrendous story. It makes me realise how truly lucky we are. Shocking that people are living (if you can call it that) in such conditions in this day and age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Terrible. Have you read Between Shades of Gray? Story of a soviet concentration camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Unbelievable! Totally Sadistic & Corrupt! I was wincing just reading that - it's pure torture. I can only imagine the scars in the poor mans mind - let alone the ones on his body. How ever would you get over that? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Webmuppet Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 There's a free Kindle book about North Korea, its about the whole regime and people who have escaped from North Korea its called 'Nothing To Envy' by Barbara Demick. I read it and it makes you glad that you live in the western world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
