What can we individuals with a conscience do, except pray for the utter destruction of those who are responsible for such atrocities?
These horrors, and parallel ones that took place during the German conducted holocaust of WWII, and others under various tyrants around the world, result when the governing powers’ view of humanity collapses to that of beasts.
But hey, lets keep sending them aid and food. That will surely get to the opressed people. /sarcasm

This is torture blondie, drinking ensure at camp gitmo is a vacation.
How utterly sad. Few glimpses have been seen of what ‘life’ is like in the North. I pray for those people in hopes that the regime will inevitably implode on itself and someday the people will know what peace and freedom is like.

North Korea is a trash heap that survives only because it isa protected by China. If the Peoples Republic could be convinced to step back, we could topple the Chia regime overnight, free the North Koreans from their slavery, reunite North and South, and restore sanity to that backward land.
But any such move on our part would be construed as imperialism and China would huff and puff and we’d be back in 1950 all over again. Of course, China won’t do squat to pressure humanitarian reforms in North Korea themselves. Considering their own record on human rights, that isn’t particularly surprising.
So why aren’t international bodies like the UN and Amnesty raising hell about these atrocities? That’s about the only option left and all we hear are crickets.
BTT
And what do we hear from Amnesty International concerning this?
Almost nothing.
As unlikely as it is, the only solution for the tyranny of NoKo is for the people to rise up and overthrow the regime.
Since few of them have any direct knowledge that a better life is possible, I really don’t think I will happen any time soon.
NoKo stands as a good example of why a population needs to be armed and willing to use those weapons when a regime becomes oppressive.
I could just see Pelosi and Obama reading this saying “Now THAT is a country!”
But, but, Madeline said he was a nice man! (Freakin’ fellow travelers)

we don’t “look the other way”. we are helpless to do anything.
It is going on in China too. And China returns escapees to North Korea, which is depraved. Someone who can needs to assist these people
So basically, China is enabling North Korea and China must be pressured to do something. China is our enemy, never should we forget that for one moment.
This makes 1984 sound utopian.
For North Korea
“O most holy apostle, Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honours and invoke thee universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, and of things almost despaired of. Pray for them, who are so miserable. Make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded to thee, to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired of. Come to the assistance in this great need, that they may receive the consolation and succor of Heaven in all their necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly freedom and that we may praise God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise thee, O blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor thee as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to thee.

The degree to which we ignore this condition is indicative of the power of a Marxist mass media which does not wish to publicize the consequences of the philosophy with which they are directly associated. "It will be different when I am king."
Is it just me or do Asians seem to have a special penchant for brutality?
A good friend who escaped when Saigon fell, told me this is so because they have no loyalty or empathy for anyone not in their family.
