In northeastern North Korea sits one of many gulags. In mid-December, approximately 120 prisoners clubbed a guard, cut wire, and met up with at least one getaway car. One Free Korea has tons more info and a bit of analysis.
North Korea's camps have long had a horrible reputation. On average about one-fourth of all prisoners die each year. Some of the escapees have been caught and surely face death. Catholicgauze wonders where the international outcry of human rights abuse is.

I just read the report as well. My God, if it is true...
If this were Auschwitz, people would be screaming mad. Why aren't they doing so now?
CNN did a report on this last year, and played it repeatedly. Somebody snuck some video film out of NK showing massacres and mass starvation. I think the lack of outcry is because it has been going on for a long time - expectations are already as low as they can get.
