Close Concentration Camps in North Korea

"Never Again!" is often said regarding the atrocities of the Holocaust during World War II and yet, the horrors of those times still live on TODAY. zzzz

In North Korea, 150,000 to 200,000 people are believed to be imprisoned in government-run concentration camps–called gulags–for criticizing the government or practicing Christianity. Not only are these "offenders" sent to the camps, but the next two generations of their family as well, in order to "root out the bad blood and seed of dissent."

The conditions of these labor camps are terrible: food rations are meager (many survive on rats), babies born in the detention facilities are stamped to death by guards, and unethical chemical experiments are conducted on the detainees. Most of the imprisoned die by age 50 (if not sooner) due to the awful working and living conditions.

China is the one country in the world with the closest ties to North Korea. Take action today and urge the Chinese government to wield their influence over North Korea to shut down these inhumane camps. Never again starts NOW! .

It is all too easy to ignore the reality that people are suffering, especially when the situation seems hopeless and compassion is just too painful. However, as the great Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel said, "There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest."
Let North Korea know that this inhumane behavior is unacceptable by signing this petition today! » Take action link: http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFu8R/zkL4/ALX3g
