Radio
Free Asia reported that the North Korean regime released many
prisoners from labor training camps for Kim Il Sung’s 101st
birthday.
According
to a source in North Hamkyeong Province, almost 100% of female
prisoners were released, and around half of the male prisoners were
released from labor training camps. The regime also released
executive members, who were sent to labor training camps for
revolutionary activities. The regime is using this as propaganda to
show that the release of prisoners is a great concern of Kim Jong Eun.
However,
many North Korean people are complaining about too much emphasis on
the concerns of Kim Jong Eun. Also, they are saying that since the
labor camps are packed and prison facilities are insufficient, the
regime released many prisoners. As a result, people are not putting
much meaning on the release.
