Hello to all of my readers,
Today I would like to write about North Korea.
Recently I have read an article about a man named Sheen Dong Hoyk, a North Korean man who managed to escape from camp 14, the force camp in which he and his family were born and lived.
People live there in horrifying conditions that do not enable proper living or living at all. Those people are treated like animals, if not worse.
North Korea is a dictatorial state in which whoever dares to say something bad about the government is sent to the force camps, in which they are tortured and forced to work 24/7 for a little quantity of food. Sheen managed to escape after an educated man named Park arrived to the camp. The two of them had to work together and they became friends. Park was telling Sheen about all the things they were missing, and so they decided to run from the force camp, a crime which is paid with death.
One cold night they decided that this was the night, they ran towards the fence. Park was first. The second his body touched the fence he was electrocuted to death. Sheen, who didn't know right from wrong, used his 'friend's' body to pass through a hole Park's body created when it electrocuted.
Out in the world Sheen saw things he couldn't even imagine. He saw the profusion and was amazed.
Sheen Dong Hoyk is a lucky man, but not like him there are so many people who live in North Korea in the force camps and fight for their lives every single day. They are humiliated by the soldiers and tortured just for fun, and no one gets involved, no state activates for a change, and stops this horror.
This situation reminds me a lot of the situation in the holocaust 70 years ago, in which it took a lot of time for the states around to get involved. These situations prove the thing that none of us wants to admit, ant that is that each and every one of us takes care only for himself and does not activate too quickly if it doesn't concern him directly.
