Always the same food.

If you made a mistake you were

only given half as punishment.

They only got a single spoonful.

The guards decided that under own.

It was far too little.

We were always starving.

We only ate meat when we caught rats.

When a rat got into the room we

closed all the doors and killed it.

Then we quickly held it in the

fire to burn off the hairs.

Then we skinned and gutted it.

Then we cooked it in the fire and ate it.

There no was special method.

Rats have soft bones

so we ate absolutely everything

including the bones.

You could assume that

the inmates would say:

"So what, if we get

killed, we'll just die."

But that's not true.

The inmates in the camp feel a greater

desire to live than before.

They want to survive by all means possible.

Simply put: if you want to

survive in the camp, you have to obey.

Otherwise you'll be killed.

The five rules and regulations

of the labour camp:

Firstly: Inmates aren't allowed to escape.

Anyone trying to escape

will be shot immediately.

Anybody who sees an inmate trying to escape and

doesn't reported will be shot immediately.

Secondly: Stealing is forbidden.

Anyone who steals or hides any

food will be shot immediately.

Thirdly: Inmates must obey the officer of

the state security department completely.

Those who display improper or

disobedient behaviour towards the teacher

of the state security department,

will be shot immediately.

Fourthly: Outside of work men and women

are not allowed to be in contact privately.

If physical contact exist between

man and woman without permission

they will be shot immediately.

Lastly: Inmates must have the deepest

remorse for the own mistakes.

Those who cannot take

responsibility for the own guilt

or who have an opinion about

that guilt will be shot immediately.

There are camp officers who monitor

and control the birth of children

and the sex lives of the inmates.

The women are sometimes sexually abused

or even got pregnant by the guards.

Since life in the camp is very tough,

the women put up with everything.

They hope that their lives will be easier

if a guard likes them and

they have his child.

One example: there was a women I liked.

Most of the female inmates were attractive.

Before they came to the camp, they

usually led a life of affluence.

That's why they had

particularly pretty faces.

When I liked a woman,

I called her and took her home.

She knew she wasn't allowed to refuse.

Otherwise she would be shot.

It was rare, but occasionally the women

who were with us guards in this way

got pregnant.

Then we thought up some

accusation and killed them.

I saw that with my own eyes.

A woman was pregnant.

She already had a big belly.

A guard had got her pregnant.

While she was pregnant the guard hung

the woman from the branch of a tree

and cruelly beat her to death with a whip.

Geneva

...friend from North Korea, Donghuyk Shin,

who used to be also a political

prisoner, was born in a prison camp

in North Korea and was

finally able in 2005 to escape

and we are very happy to have

you with us here today.

Thank you for inviting

me to this conference.

According to officials figures

from the South Korean government

around two hundred thousand prisoners

are currently interned

in North Korean camps.

I think there are around twenty, thirty

thousand inmates in Camp 14, where I lived.

My parents didn't know each other

before their time in the camp.

My father received my mother as a reward

for good forced labour.

They were married by a guard.

That's how it came about that I was born

in the labour camp.

It was clear that I would have

to live there until I died.

Camp 14 is a death camp,

nobody is released from there.

We knew that we had to obey

the guards unconditionally.

In all the years I was there,

I never saw anyone complaining.

I'm an American journalist.

Do you speak English a little bit?

A little?

I want to make an interview with him

in a few words about his personal ...

Through my work with LINK, a

human rights organization

I have been to lectures

all around the world.

In the United States, Canada,

Europe and even Japan.

But I never felt in any of these

places that I really arrived.

The public executions in the camp

weren't restricted to adult inmates.

That could happen to children too.

I was seven or eight.

Every week our teacher checked our pockets.

There were around thirty-five

children in the class.

The teacher called out some names

and searched the pockets.

Once a few grains of corn were

found in a girl's pocket.

When we stole food, we usually

swallowed it immediately.

But she was unfortunately caught.

The teacher put the grains on the

table and the girl had to kneel.

She was beaten mercilessly with a cane.

It started at eight o'clock in the morning and

only ended at around one in the afternoon.

He ignored her begging and

her pleas for forgiveness.

He kept beating her.

It was a form of training for him.

I was beaten like that too once.

At the end the girl couldn't cope with it anymore

and she collapsed on the floor unconscious.

We took our friend on our

back and carried her home.

She had a severe head

injury and was bleeding.

The next day she wasn't in school anymore.

Since the teacher ordered us to get her

from home, we sought out her family.

We just heard she was dead.

The wound on her head had become infected.

When we watched this scene non of us

thought that was anything wrong with it.

Those were the camp's

rules and regulations.

That's why we thought that was absolutely normal that this

girl was punished so severely for five stolen grains.

Sometimes we laughed.

I don't know exactly how

often that happened.

I was quite naive as a small child.
