North Korean labor camps
North Korean labor camps, often referred to as political prison camps, are facilities where the government detains individuals accused of crimes against the state, including dissent or perceived disloyalty. Conditions in these camps are extremely harsh, with forced labor, inadequate food, physical abuse, and little to no medical care. Detainees, often imprisoned for life without trial, may include not only those who oppose the regime but also their families, reflecting the government's policy of collective punishment. These camps exemplify the severe human rights violations prevalent in North Korea, highlighting the repressive nature of its authoritarian regime.
