Here's a North Korean prison camp survivor's testimony from 2003. Try to read it without vomiting. This is the country you think should have nuclear weapons: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/3071464/ns/us_news-only/t/survivor-soon-ok-lee/ http://www.nbcnews.com/id/3071464/ns/us_news-only/t/survivor...
- joshschreuder 11y agoWow. Thanks for posting, I had no idea about any of that. I mean, I knew NK was a serious human rights offender, but when hearing specifics really hit home how bad it is. Atrocious.
- moo 11y agoChang In-suk [1], head of the North Korean Defectors’ Association in Seoul at the time, says Lee Soon-ok is a liar. The Guardian tackles the question, "Why do North Korean defector testimonies so often fall apart?"

- facetube 11y agoInteresting. Do you have any information on what was suspected to be exaggerated? I read up a bit on Chang In-suk, and saw the Guardian's reference to forum posters on NKnet (who doubted she was imprisoned), but couldn't find any of the original posts or supporting evidence. This sort of stuff would be really really bad to fabricate IMO, considering the scale of known-true suffering going on in North Korea.
