They call it "the Killing Compound" – the area of Camp 22
in North Korea's largest concentration camp.
Hidden away in the mountains in a remote northeastern corner of
North Korea, close to its borders with Russia and China, Camp 22 has
been purpose-built for the regime's scientists to have an unlimited
number of prisoners on which to experiment.
Thousands of men, women and children are trucked to the nearby town
of Haengyong. There they wait and, just as Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele
did at Auschwitz, the North Korean physicians single out those who
will die in gas chambers, or in biological tests, or face death in
the human dissection rooms.
Those not selected to go to the Killing Compound at once will be
kept in other compounds, surviving on minimum rations, to replace
those who have died from inhuman experiments.
They are all branded as enemies of the state, "political victims"
who have dared to speak out against President Kim Jong Il, the "Dear
Leader" of North Korea.
Their "offenses" may have been to allow a portrait of Kim to get
dusty – every home must display one. Or not having given the
mandatory bow when passing his thousands of posters that line every
street.
Now, as the trial of Saddam Hussein draws to its inevitable close in
Baghdad, Western intelligence services are building up their files
that will enable Kim and senior members of his regime to be indicted
for war crimes.
"Just as Saddam cannot escape his role in the war crimes of his
regime, so Kim will also face justice.
"North Korea is a real terror state and its leader has to face the
international criminal court," said Dr Norbert Vollersten, a German
doctor who treated victims in North Korea and is now a campaigner
for regime change in Pyongyang.
"As a German born after the war, I know too well the guilt of my
grandparents' generation for remaining silent," he says. "We must do
everything possible to end Kim's regime of terror."
Chilling testimony from those he has helped to escape from North
Korea has emerged as a key element in preparing future indictments
against Kim and his regime.
The most shocking evidence centers on Camp 22. An MI6 file describes
it as "larger than Auschwitz or Dachau."
"Hundreds of prisoners die there each week, the victims of
biological or chemical experiments to test out [chemical and
biological] weapons for North Korea's CBW arsenal," claims an MI6
report.
In one intelligence file is the allegation that newborn babies are
taken from their mothers and injected with biological agents or
given injections of chemicals that blister the skin, leaving huge
keloids, the sores seen on the bodies of Hiroshima victims.
One woman, Lee Sun-Ko, who escaped from North Korea earlier this
year, eventually ended up in America. She told her CIA debriefing
officer that Camp 22's experimental laboratories are buried
underground to avoid aerial reconnaissance and bombing.
Lee Sun-Ko's affidavit includes: "I watched guards select 150
prisoners, mostly women. Some had just given birth. Their babies
were ripped from them. Some of the babies were laid face down on the
ground and a guard injected them at the top of the spine. Other
guards carried the babies away. When the mothers screamed and
protested, they were severely beaten."
David Hawk, a former United Nations official who was involved in
monitoring Camp 22, said that while reports of baby-killing are
often hard to prove, in the cases he has investigated the evidence
is plausible.
"I spoke to eight refugees who had first-hand evidence. Their
stories tallied," said Hawk.
