A 23-year old, poverty-stricken young woman who appeared in newspapers and on TV around the world when she was filmed by a cameraman inside North Korea died of starvation in October, it has been revealed.
The woman, who appeared in a KBS special program, “North Korea’s Third Generation Succession: Who Is Kim Jong Eun?” alongside global media including the BBC(UK) and Asahi TV(Japan) amply demonstrated the dire straits in which some North Korean people live. Reduced to rags following the death of both her parents, she said she wandered the fields looking for grasses.
Speaking with the cameraman, who asked what she planned to do with the grass, the girl, who admitted that she also slept outside, said, “I’m going to eat it.”
Speaking with The Daily NK today, Asia Press said, “According to Kim Dong Cheol, who interviewed the girl in South Pyongan Province while he was doing some research inside North Korea in June, she died on or around October 20th.”
“It was discovered that, without a home, she had been wandering in the market and on the streets, before dying in a corn field,” the Asia Press spokesperson explained, “Since then was harvest time, she went there to eat corn but seems to have died of starvation.”
Her body was apparently already decomposing by the time it was found, but the local People’s Safety Ministry agents were in no hurry to deal with it because she did not have any family, so it was left for a long time.
According to Asia Press, “The chaotic situation caused by the currency redenomination in November last year has caused an increase in kotjebi numbers across the country, and in some regions there have been people dying of starvation. She was also a victim of that impractical plan.”
Probably. A little starvation plus a lot of exposure to the elements would easily kill a person in Korea.
.....”We WILL find horrors that are the equal of or exceed Nazi Germany......Guaranteed........The crimes committed in those places, against whole families, and multiple generations will make Saddam Hussein look like
Mother Theresa.”......
Exactly....the whole country lives in fear of being sent to those places...and rightfully so. The things done to these people are beyond that of the Jewish concentration camps...far beyond. The prisoners are taught the people are no less than animals. Interesting the way the guards have to be rotated every three months because they cannot endure seeing what they themselves do to these people. There seems to be a psycotic break so they rotate them out.
It is all maddness to the extreme. One soldier reported a woman covered with worms whose child had been butchered in her womb...further a shovel had been rammed up her. These things are commonplace.
Thats true, I spent 2 years there, coldest winter I ever seen.
Agreed, this should be a lesson to the liberals.
This is horrible beyond belief.
I guess I kind of expect this kind of a thing in corrupt and tribal Africa, but a country with missle technology and nuclear weapons that can't or won't feed its people?
This woman has been in my thoughts ever since I saw the video a few weeks ago. Sad to realize that she was already dead by the time the world learned of her. I also wish that we had a name to go with her face. I don’t think that I will ever forget her.
The face of COMMUNISM - and to think that Pelosi and Reid are trying to take us there.
Oh, sorry, not take us ‘there’, but take us to a much nicer utopia - just based on the same principals. LOL.
“I have a question..WHY THE HELL DIDN’T THE NEWSPEOPLE WHO INTERVIEWED HER FEED HER?”
Are you sure they didn’t? What were they supposed to do after feeding her, carry her out to China?
Ain’t that the truth...
:-(
“Most Americans are very ignorant of just how much work goes into creating the immense amount of food that we assume will always be in our supermarkets. Those same Americans are constantly supporting policies which threaten the ability to create and deliver that food at prices almost everyone here can afford. “
No kidding. One accurate EMP attack and 99.9% of this country will look like her. And in about 8 months (we have more blubber to start with), 90% of the country will suffer her fate.
We only live as we do thanks to our military - lose that protection and NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. We can have all the amnesty we want, government-run health care, green jobs, Social Security, etc. - doesn’t matter.
Because like all liberals, they are only generous with other people's money.
They have just passed a bill to control our food, any parallels here? naw, it can’t happen here.............
“control the food you control the masses” pass the popcorn dancin with the stars is about to start, did you see Barbara Walters special when Opray cryed? WILL SOMEONE PLEASE WAKE ME UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE?
I just watched this video a couple days ago. I thought the translation was that she was selling the grass. When she was asked what she ate, she said nothing.
She also looks like she has a deformed hand.
I hope this REALLY goes viral now.
OH TIGER I saw original interview on BBC world she show her arms off it was Like completly BONESSS
I bet Obama want negotilate with Chia Pet and Chia Chub
Obama would certainly bow to Chia Chub.
They couldn’t give her anything, they were “beng watched”
