President Donald Trump is pressing China to act over its cruel neighbor with warnings of possible major conflict if the standoff over North Korea's attempts to develop nuclear weapons is not resolved through diplomacy Lim is the first female guard to talk openly about her experiences we were manipulated not to feel any sympathy for prisoners she said we were told they had committed terrible crimes now I know they were normal people so I feel very guilty few have escaped these hidden hell holes modeled on Stalin's gulags and compared to those run by the Nazis even children are incarcerated for life along with parents and grant Reince under rules that punished three generations for perceived dissidents one defector told me he was the only one of 5,000 children to escape his camp which held close to 50,000 people many prisoners are stunted and deformed by hunger and back-breaking labour and freezing forests and deep mines former inmates told me of living in fear of constant beatings of injured people dumped to die in the snow of hundreds sealed beneath ground after mining accidents of rotting corpses piled beside Hut's of catching snakes to survive deadly starvation satellite evidence suggest some of these barbaric units have grown since Kim jong-un took over the family dictatorship six years ago although their existence is denied camp 12 a fenced off farm growing corn and peppers near the Chinese border was where Lim first began working aged 17 inmates included high-ranking officials who had fallen out of favor with the regime guards brought up in a system that deified the Kim dynasty or given brainwashing sessions twice a week and told not to see prisoners as humans even if a guard was driving and ran over a child there would not be real punishment she said most inmates at the two camps where she worked were women and children if men were healthy they would be sent to the mines where they were used as disclosable labor many died they were also made to psychologically suffer one survivor told me a frequent accident and quarries and mines as exhausted inmates worked round the clock on one occasion 300 people lost their lives in a gas explosion the guards just closed off the tunnels with others trapped inside to stop the fires and gas spreading hundreds are also alleged to have died hollowing out huge tunnels and mountain man tap for the testing of nuclear weapons and then clearing the contaminated sites afterwards limp stead male guards abuse women in camps by having what they call the affairs with them it was basically raped because prisoners did not have the right to say no if women became pregnant they had to have abortions or were killed by lethal Injection and if pregnancy was too advanced babies were beaten to death or buried alive camps have reward marriages in which model prisoners are given a mate selected by camp chief says an incentive to work hard men and women are otherwise kept apart prisoners work seven days a week are woken at 5:00 a.m. and spend up to 16 hours slaving away and field and factories before evening reeducation sessions at which they might be made to memorize official edicts failure means being kept awake all night inspections take place three times a day to check no one has fled through three rings of barbed wire surrounding the camps and any one out of their dormitory at night a shot limb said even after death prisoners were denied humanity all the bodies were piled up to one side there was no respect no funeral process after a week the corpses would be burned wearing ragged ex-army uniforms and sandals made from tires inmates suffer starvation surviving on meager rations of corn and salt yet anyone caught taking food from fields orchards faces a lethal beating or being locked in an underground cell too small to stand in when I arrived it was like a scene from a horror movie said Kang click on sent to Yoda concentration camp aged 9 after his grandfather was accused of sedition I once watched a film about Auschwitz and I could relate so much to the situation he was always hungry during a decade in the camp many inmates died from malnutrition in the first few months we were never given protein so we would catch snakes rats even insects Kang spoke of ceaseless fear during his incarceration with beatings commonplace once he had to watch a group of people being hanged then guards made them throw stones at the dangling dead they left the bodies so crows came and ate the flesh he added almost all the inmates are locked up following arbitrary arrests with many having no idea what crime they or their relatives have committed offenses have included leaving dust on a picture of the supreme leader hold religious service and listening to foreign radio young Wang ill spent three years in yo doc after being arrested for alleged spying he was so badly tortured even before entry he could only crawl in on his hands and knees having lost half his body weight after months held in stress positions it was a living hell all the people were suffering from malnutrition they did not look like human beings he said young 54 said any sense of solidarity was crushed from prisoners ordered to inform on fellow inmates or face savage punishment people believed at once you show sympathy towards others it will bite you back he said I saw a kid who looked so weak I suggested he went to a special area for people in a bad situation he told a guard I got beaten up so badly with a thick stick I nearly died the guard asked me who was I to make decisions for others during winter his 400 strong group worked in forests but all too often the tired and hungry prisoners moved too slowly to avoid falling trees chopped down for lumber the guards just laughed as people were crushed since the ground was frozen and work could not stop corpses were thrown in a big pile some were not dead at night when I went to the toilet I heard their moaning these injured people froze to death this gruesome heap grew until the ground thawed in spring it was like a huge pile of garbage they were all rotten said young who now smuggled films and human rights information back into the state that betrayed him so badly he remains deeply traumatized despite defecting more than a decade ago no hua Chang one of the most senior defectors this century said all citizens are aware of the camps this is a regime of fear everyone is so scared of what might happen no former head of the ruling party's youth wing fled in 2014 after his close ally and Kim jong-un's uncle was killed by the new leader during our discussion he cried after revealing that his wife children and brothers were sent to a camp after his escape and youngchul who worked as a guard in four different camps said those who died are the lucky ones this is modern day slavery torturing people over decades for his first three years brainwashed and believing the propaganda and beaten mates and used the mass targets for martial arts practice then one day he was bored and talked to a prisoner suddenly discovering they were innocent people he said some guards enjoyed torture one day his boss killed an elderly prisoner in a brick factory by smashing a metal bar on his head he was never punished for this guards could even advance their ambitions though murder one man dragged two men and three women to defense's then shot them claiming he'd caught them escaping he was rewarded with admission to a top university in atonement for past misdeeds and now campaigns against these camps including the one holding his mother and sister I wish I did not know the details but I know how they will be doing he said sadly three years ago the United Nations condemned North Korea's camps as crimes against humanity and without parallel on the planet yet even now there is no reliable footage from camps the size of cities and worked at one that is 30 miles long and 25 miles wide their size is matched only by the cruelty said Thor Harrison of the Human Rights Foundation which assists defectors not since the concentration camps of the Nazis and gulags of Stalin has humanity seen such a meticulously organized system to punish and dehumanize a population today the middle-aged Linh lives in Seoul just 35 miles but a world away from the despotic regime that held her in into rigid grip she defected 15 years ago after a short spell in prison deciding to flee when forced to parade naked before male guards she fears the camps have become even worse since she left and is angry at the system she served once with such loyalty I feel so betrayed by leaders who lied to us she said we were told not to see these people as humans now I feel traumatized you Select subtitle language: SWITCH LANGUAGE
