Interview with North Korean escapee Shin Dong-hyuk in the Evening Standard today. Shame they can’t spell his name right. http://bit.ly/IQgTFA. “When I saw the outside world for the first time, I thought it was paradise.”

One thought on “Author of Escape from Camp 14 interviewed in the Standard

  1. Han Eui-jong Poor him. Shin’s life has become a gigantic invisible camp. To free him, if ever poss., from that, is for the World to stop NK increasing prisoners’ camps NOW, and DELIVER food…I bet there won’t be enough rice (what rice..perhaps only corn) for the guards of the camps either …So sad when you see tons of food waste all around……..Are we that powerless… I often wonder who the ‘neutral’ agencies decide to help…how to obtain ‘forceful entry’ on humanitarian grounds with non-political foundation?
