Pictures of Concentration Camps

These satellite images expose - and confirm publicly for the first time - one of North Korea's biggest slave-labour camps, No. 22. It is in Haengyong, in North Hamgyong Province, hidden among rugged mountains on the far northeastern frontier with China. The pictures were corroborated by the only person known to have escaped the camp, former guard Ahn Myong Chol.
