North Korean Labor Camps

North Korean Conflict

It is incredible how in this modern world, some countries like North Korea still have labor camps, it should be a thing of the past.

The most recent incident of two American journalist Laura Ling and Euna Lee, brought this reality back to the world; a reality that always has been there, but has been forgotten until now. The world is watching every single step North Korea is taking towards the two journalists that unfortunately were captured trying to get into North Korea and are being accused as spies and were condemned for 12 years doing hard labor in a North Korean camp where they would be subject to starvation, extreme weather conditions, torture and public humiliation.

In my opinion, the North Korean government is doing this to provoke a conflict with the United States and the world by defying everybody through these actions, increasing the tension in the world who is watching and wondering about what would happen next? Will the North Korean communist government have clemency and release the two American journalists? or will keep it's decision and make them prisoners?



Lets hope, for the sake of the world, to avoid any conflict that might lead to another war. I don't want to sound pessimist, but we must be prepared to expect the worst, but hope for the best.
This site will give an explanation about the way prisoners suffer in labor camps.
