(New York Post) Prisoners incarcerated in a notorious North Korean gulag camp have been forced to drink river water tainted with the ashes of their dead fellow inmates, according to a report.
Those who survived the Chongori concentration camp in the northeastern reaches of the Hermit Kingdom exposed the nightmarish realities of being locked up under the repressive regime of Kim Jong Un, the Mirror reported.
North Koreans can land in the hellhole for transgressions including watching South Korean TV and practicing Christianity, according to the outlet, which cited a new report by the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea.
Chongori has a high mortality rate due to “injury, illness, or physical and mental abuse by prison officials,” according to the report.
