Cannibalism in North Korea

What if it wasn't just a rumor? A leaked official document raises concern.

Just when you thought North Korea couldn't get any more disturbing.

A leaked official police document reportedly details at least one case of cannibalism.

If true, the report would validate what has been rumored in the North for quite some time: that people are so hungry they are eating other people.

According to the Korea Herald:

"The report, later obtained by South Korea's Caleb Mission, provided a rare look into the alleged cannibalism and other crimes, but it did not say whether cannibalism has become a widespread practice.

In one account, a male guard who could not bear his hunger killed his colleague using an ax, ate some of the human flesh and sold the remainder in the market by disguising it as mutton, the report said, without giving any further details such as when the alleged crime occurred."

The confidential, 791-page document, called a "Manual for workers in law enforcement," chronicles 721 criminal cases. The majority of cases involved food.

Five of the cases, according to the International Business Times, involved cannibalism.

I don't know. This story is kind of hard to swallow.

North Korea is hell on earth and nothing will change until South Korea and China decide to do something about it.

For those curious about North Korea and a good supplementary documentary to what Destino posted:



Really makes me mad at what the piece of **** Kim Jong il is getting away with.

You'd think the North Koreans would be fed up with their country by now. This is a very unsavory story.


edit: We're all going to hell, aren't we?

[SonOfWashington]

This story really puts a bad taste in my mouth.

[Mickalino]

Leave it to China to spice things up around here.

[pjfootballer]

Chew on that story for a while.

Probably posted on this forum before, but worth reposting.
