I recently watched a documentary about N.Koreans who had made it across the Yalu River. I think it was broadcast on ABC oddly enough (maybe Nightline?). It was as heartrending a film as I have ever seen. They interviewed some of the survivors of these concentration camps, and their testimonials made my skin crawl. The film also left you with the impression that DPRK must be a terrible place if people from there are risking their lives to escape to CHINA!

I had not heard about our satellite images of the concentration camps though. Thanks for the info.

Yes. It's hard to imagine it, but one would be filled with joy to make it out of North Korea into China. It's another communist country, but does not have anywhere near the repression as North Korea. I think an American that could escape over the Yalu into 2002 China would also be grateful.

Of course, the only problem is that China is in cahoots with NK and then sends these people back over the border so they can end up back in the concentration camps. Disgusting and sad.
