North Korea (MNN) ― The number of North Koreans who are imprisoned in concentration camps is much greater than previously assumed.

"It is not inconceivable that the number of prisoners has passed the one million mark," reports Simon, director of Open Doors in North Korea. "Many camps are so large that they are not recognized as camps on satellite photos. They consist of entire villages." For security reasons, Simon doesn't reveal how the research was done. "There are many lives at stake," he stated.

The eight prison camps for political prisoners probably contain between half a million and a million people. In addition, hundreds of thousands of North Koreans are made to work every day in 30 other camps. This is reported by Open Doors on the basis of research conducted inside the country. the rest
