In Islam, there were times (holidays) when it was considered auspicious or meritorious to free slaves - kind of like giving to charity.

Sometimes folks would “free” old or disabled slaves, so they didn’t have to feed them anymore - let them go starve in the street.

It might be useful to clear out some deadwood from the gulags periodically as well.

Thanks, I wondered about their history of ‘amnesties’.

Of course they could sell their prison factories to investors and call the prisoners ‘workers’... like socialist countries typically do.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said that amnesty will be granted to those who were convicted of crimes against the country and people on the occasion of the North's 70th founding anniversary.

Does that mean only people who will be convicted on that date will get amnesty, or that some unknown set of people will get amnesty on that date? Does the crime have to be against both the country and people, or will one of those do?

I was under the impression that they don’t have either to eat.

Doesn’t mean much - they’ve all been shot in the head or starved to death in the gulag.

Maybe they are freeing up space so we can send over HRC, 0vomit, Strzok, and a few others.
