Geboren im Gulag

Washington Times: N. Korean reveals childhood torture

“He says he was tortured as a teenager. He watched as his mother and brother were executed, and until he was 20 years old, North Korean Shin Dong-hyuk had heard of neither Kim Il-sung nor Kim Jong-il.
In a testimony to stunned journalists yesterday, Mr. Shin, the first North Korean defector to the South who was born in the North’s notorious gulag, revealed a nightmarish world in which inmates and their children suffer lifetime incarceration, are kept ignorant of outside society and undergo forms of torture that are medieval in their barbarism.”
