Call them concentration camps, prison camps, or “reeducation” centers, but didn’t the world proclaim, “Never again” after the horrors of Stalin and the Nazis were revealed? That promise appears not to have been kept.

Satellite images collected by Amnesty International reveal that brutal prison camps in North Korea have grown considerably in the last decade, swelling to approximately 200,000 prisoners being starved and worked to death for political crimes or simply being related to someone accused of such an infraction. In the sixty years since the camps were established, only thirty have escaped the “re-education centers” to tell their tales of horror, and only three are known to have escaped what are known as “Total Control Zones.”

The government of North Korea has always denied the existence of the camps, yet they appear to be in plain sight of the world’s satellites. The question now is, what can we do with this knowledge?

Full story at Singularity Hub.

This is the hell going on in North Korea.

According to the article few have ever escaped these camps (only 3 from the “Total Control Zone”). :-(
