Former North Korean Prisoner Speaks Out

North Korea is, IMO, the most oppresive and despotic government on earth.

N. Korean Man Tells Prison Horror Story
By KWANG-TAE KIM, Associated Press Writer

SEOUL, South Korea - A former North Korean political prisoner Tuesday offered grim details of life in a communist regime prison camp, saying he saw many inmates die from overwork and starvation.

The ex-inmate, who survived the prison camp at Yodok, about 70 miles northwest of Pyongyang, said a former defector was beaten to death for having contacted Christian representatives in China, he said.
