North Korea: 150,000 political prisoners · Global Voices
John Kennedy

Are there over 150,000 political prisoners in North Korea? Are You NKay? blogger kyochan says so: “It's numbers like these that scare people away from helping. But I've emphasized many times, that is no excuse to be a bystander to tragedy. Understand that even if only one person is saved, it makes a huge difference to that person. Eventually, those numbers accumulate into something more encouraging. But that will never happen if one is overwhelmed by such figures.”
