A very sad day for people living in tyranny.
North Korean Prison Camp Survivor Reveals Horrific Details of North Korean Gulag System:
Prisoners are forced to stand on their toes in tanks filled with water up to their noses for 24 hours, stripped and hanged upside-down while being beaten or given the infamous “pigeon torture” — where both hands are chained to a wall at a height of 2 feet, forcing them to crouch for hours at a time.
Tiny rations of watery corn porridge leave inmates on the brink of starvation, and many hunt rats, snakes and frogs for protein. Some even take the drastic measure of searching through animal dung for undigested seeds to eat. Beatings are handed out daily for offenses as simple as not bowing down in respect to the guards fast enough. Prisoners are used as practice targets during martial arts training. Guards routinely rape female inmates.
Kang Cheol Hwan was imprisoned at Camp 14 for a decade beginning at age 9, his crime was being the grandson of a man who allegedly criticized the government. In North Korea, if one person is condemned of betraying the Kim dynasty, then all family members until the third generation can be sent into prison.
Prisoners toil 15 hours a day in mines, every day of the year. They barely have food to eat and starve to death or are beaten to death.
