The DPRK's Gulag Archipelago
Here are some excerpts from The Iron Hand of the Dear Leader:
    Eye witnesses who have escaped have reported that guards stamp on the necks of babies born to prisoners in order to kill them. There have even been claims that the camp has glass gas chambers where whole families die after being used as guinea pigs in chemical experiments....

    Kim Jong-Il demands that three generations of a dissident's family be arrested....

    Along with returned defectors, political dissidents and minor deviants - those guilty of the slightest disrespect towards the Dear Leader - are liable to be punished, along with their relatives. Many are Christians, a religion believed by Kim Jong-Il to be one of the greatest threats to his power.
