A rare video footage of a North Korean labor camp for political prisoners was broadcast on Japan's Fuji Television on Friday. According to the Japanese TV network, the clip was obtained from a North Korean defector who secretly filmed the site and managed to smuggle it out of the country.

This visual shows prisoners working on a snowy field dressed in drab uniforms. The Yodok 15 Prison located 100 kilometers north of Pyeongyang is known to be a camp for failed government officials or defectors.

Political prisoners carry human excrement from homes of guards and security officials at Yodeok Political Prison Camp in South Hamgyeong Province, North Korea. Video was released on Japan's Fuji TV.

Political prisoners at Noth's Yodeok Political Prison Camp eat frozen cabbage leaves in order to sooth hunger. They hastily hide the leaves as soon as the prison guards come.

Since the liberals support the sorts of things that lead to this, I can only infer that the liberals have this sort of thing in mind for us.
