While at the camp, he endured daily beatings, torture, starvation-level rations, saw forced abortions and even witnessed the public execution of his mother and brother in 1996. Shin described his life of total isolation from the world: "In South Korea, although there is disappointment and sadness, there is also so much joy, happiness and comfort. In Kaechon, I did not even know such emotions existed. The only emotion I ever knew was fear: fear of beatings, fear of starvation, fear of torture and fear of death." LiNK's Executive Director Adrian Hong will brief the audience on the broader issue of human rights in North Korea, as well as the current refugee situation and what can be done to help. Liberty in North Korea, or LiNK, is an international non-governmental organization devoted to human rights in North Korea and the protection of North Korean refugees.This talk will be taped.

Jan 4, 2012 - @TheTollundWoman : I'll correct you to the effect that I am no B/W - thinking person. If I listen to a story I don't just ask me false/true, but false/true to what grade, who's the one who tells and why, why me, why now, why here.I never said the situation in North Korea how western media draw it is not true. that's not my goal.I start wondering why a capital enterprise who's business concept is dealing with and providing of information - a very very sensible concept - swifts (will continue...

Jan 4, 2012 - @TheTollundWoman : ...from a simple delivery to an interpretation and hence propaganda.It's a little bit naïve thinking that propaganda is always just the opposite site, that our leaders never lie that they serve us clearest coolest water.As you said there live ten thousands of North Korean in the South and so as much stories of how's the living up there can be heard.I never say these men were propagandists.The men who decided that these 3 stories shall be made public are the propagandists.

Jan 23, 2012 - this is absolutely awful how few people bothered to show up - I would do anything to meet that guy in person - he's hugely inspiring and the fact that no-one seems to care about him as a person or in general for the situation my giving money or even supporting/spreading the message is truly terrible. I hope I can shake that guy's hand some day.

Jan 26, 2012 - this is the saddest thing i have seen all this year and that man is so brave, what do the U.N say about this?
dieinafirenrot Says:
Jan 27, 2012 - @TOW3RA Nothing. The world doesn't care because North Korea has nothing of value. You and many others need to come to terms with the fact that the western world's moral high ground is an illusion. People were actually outraged when Ron Paul (no I don't support) suggested he wouldn't intervene in the WWII Holocaust. Nevermind the fact we actively turned Jewish people away from America at the time, and today we completely ignore any number of genocides and despotic regimes.

Jan 27, 2012 - wahhh.. stfu worry about the people in your own country before you worry about people accross the world. people starve in the U.S everyday where are you assholes for them? American rights are being taken away and the constitution being trampled on but still people worry about shit that doesnt concern them.

Jan 31, 2012 - In all this game, the devil is losing and at the end will be accused of everything because GOD don't want any rivals. Conclusion: live at the full in the freedom of GOD (praying in a right form, following the INSTRUCTIONS in the Bible - keeping the 10 commandments - including keeping the Saturday as the 7th day etc.) instead of in the incapacity and limited power of devil because he is just a temporary puppet. Jesus Christ is the savior and hope.

Feb 5, 2012 - @loh1110 no, they were allowed to spend 5 days together because they showed outstanding results at camp work. And of course they fucked.

TheTollundWoman Says:
Jan 3, 2012 - @MrBaebel Since the 1990s, over 300,000 people have risked their lives to escape North Korea and 23,000 have defected to the South. This reality speaks for itself. Do you really think Kang Chol-hwan, Dong Hyuk-shin, and Lee Soon OK are all "propagandists"? You can rant about capitalism all you want. But you are crossing a line by insulting people who risk their lives for things you take for granted. You have probably never gone more than a day without food.
