if anyone reading this thread doesn't think that No. Korea is hell on earth then they need to look at the following the following composite image of the Earth as seen from space at night.

Scroll over to the Korean Peninsula.
Look at the difference between how much light emanates from No. Korea and how much comes from ROK.
Now look at Outer Mongolia. Notice the similarity between it and No. Korea.
Now remember, 22 Million people live in North Korea.
Try not to shiver.

Pray for these people. Their lives are worse than we can imagine.

There are a series of 10 to 15 (or more) high security political prisoner camps along the Chinese - North Korean border. The familes of those who defect are sent there, along with Christians, fallen party cadres, unsuccessful Yalu River-crossers, etc.. There is immense torture, rape, disease and starvation.

US KH-11 intelligence satellites can just as well clearly show those in there who are in the 'anti-revolutionary' segment of the DPRK population, being prepared for firing squads (usually three AK-47 shots and then dumped into a shallow grave, with fellower prisoners as witnesses).

Regarding DPRK society, every North Korean right down to an infant is labeled as a member of one of three categories as far as the Korean Worker's Party is concerned: Cadres (or trusted), workers (not necessarily trusted), and traiterous anti-revolutionaries (the majority of the population.) The most suspect of the third category are regularly taken away for "relocation" or "internal immigration." Each of these camps has a geographic name or a code number name (like "Camp 11 in Hamkyong Province", etc.)

Escapees from these camps have written blood curdling accounts in the Japanese and S. Korean press and books. Some have, from memories, drawn maps and cartoons of what goes on there.

It is not for the faint I can assure you.

They suffer as I write.
