North Korea: Holocaust-style camps

Categories: East Asia, North Korea, Governance, Human Rights, International Relations, War & Conflict

As North Korea prepares to test-fire an inter-continental ballistic missile—”The US and Japan have warned the North Koreans not to test-fire their ICBM; but the lunatics in charge of the failed Stalinist state, led by the Hitlerian tyrant Kim Jong-il, have insisted on their right to fire away [1].”—China Confidential‘s Confidential Reporter draws some attention to what he writes amounts to North Korea's own holocaust: “For several years, the world has known about the North Korean concentration camps—called ‘control zones'—housing some 200,000 men, women and children at any given time. At least 20 percent of the prisoners die from torture or arbitrary killing each year. Atrocities reminiscent of Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps are commonplace, including public executions, baby killings, gruesome medical experiments—and gas chambers. Prisoners are starved, beaten and worked to death. Sometimes, entire families are gassed at once while researchers take notes.”
