I was suspected of being a spy and arrested by [North Korea’s] ministry of state security on 22 July 1999, because I had contacted a South Korean when I went to China.

I had been working in Chongjin as the regional manager of a trading company. I was dragged to a prison camp in Hoeryong. I was beaten with a balk about 5cm thick. I was beaten so severely that the back of my head was terribly injured. I still have a scar there. All my teeth were broken. I had to live without teeth for about four years.

Life in the prison camp was repetitive. It was a life of being investigated and beaten. My weight dropped drastically, falling from 75kg to 35kg.

    Personal Narrative: Throwing Down The Gauntlet On My Life

    “Throwing Down The Gauntlet On My Life” I’m a junior at Presbyterian Pan American School.

    Personal Narrative: My Life Of A Slave

    I hope this letter finds you well; if it finds you at all. I do not know where I am, I do not know where to go, and I do not know when I will be back. I am in chains, lying on the hard ground of a large boat, stuffed next to other slaves. The atmosphere is so thick and stuffy, it is nearly impossible to breathe, much less without extraneous effort and wheezing. The stench is unbearable.…

    Personal Narrative: My First Strikes

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
