Yeah the article mentioned all the North Korean medical paper work showed Otto went into the Hospital already in a coma the day after he was sentenced. Furthermore, the article suggest he was well taken care of the entire time while in his coma (i.e., no bedsores, healthy coma weight, healthy skin etc.). And it said the original brain scans showed equal distribution of brain damage on both signs (i.e., he died from lack of oxygen rather than blows to the head).
I don't think I'd be strong enough to stay in it after being sentenced to a lifetime of jail in a North Korean prison camp.
The "beatings" and "torture" talk all seems to be false propaganda that wasn't backed up by any evidence with several officials noting no signs of beatings or torture, which is disgusting.
- oculusthrift 8y agoand north korea has never been known to lie, so must be true
- tptacek 8y agoFor most of the detail cited in the comment you replied to, we're not relying on North Korea's representations, so your reply is largely nonresponsive.
- ForRealsies 8y agoYeah he wasn't tortured. He just put himself into a coma in a failed suicide self-strangulation attempt. You know, to escape that whole lifetime of forced labor bit. Muuuuuch better
