Stop the atrocities committed in North Korean prison camps
We call on the UK government and international community to make a motion for immediate action against human rights violations in prison camps in North Korea.
In camps clearly visible on Google maps, an estimated 200,000 people are imprisoned in North Korea under inhumane conditions.
Shin Dong hyuk, who miraculously escaped, was routinely tortured, starved and beaten. Guards are trained not to treat prisoners as human beings, “but as dogs or pigs”.
The UN Human Rights Council established a year long Commission of Inquiry into these violations in March 2013.
However, we have an obligation to prevent such atrocities more urgently and decisively.
Shin said, “People think the Holocaust is in the past, but it is still very much a reality going on in North Korea.”

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
