Fresh reports in recent weeks about the victims of repression in North Korea are a reminder of how ruthless the dictatorship still is. It insists that "political prisoner" is not in its vocabulary. Yet growing numbers flee persecution. Even prison guards attempt to escape the country. Whole families, including children, are incarcerated for "guilt by association". The new edition of "The Hidden Gulag" provides testimony starting in 1970 about different types of forced-labor camps: the kwan-li-so for political prisoners, from which there is usually no release; the kyo-hwa-so penitentiaries mostly for those serving out sentences as common criminals; and detention centers for those forcibly repatriated from China. All appear to involve mistreatment that frequently ends in death.
