A report from the National Intelligence Service of South Korea exposed the doing of North Korea's genocide of its prisoners to the National Assembly on October 28. The communist country allegedly performs genocide to the prisoners while being transferred in Yodok.
"The regime is transferring the inmates one by one during the night so that their movement can't be detected by satellites," reported by Chosun Ilbo from a source. According to the report, the DPRK concentration camps plans to hide their human rights violations from the outside world. There were about 50,000 prisoners who were starved, enslaved, sexually assaulted and subjected to arbitrary executions.
The incident is similar to the closing down of Hoeryong Concentration Camp (Camp 22) in 2012, in which 20,000 prisoners were killed, the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea and Radio Free Asia Reported.
The call against Kim Jon-un's prosecution has been initiated when former North Korean guards and military officials testified their country's execution process. They confirmed eliminating prisoners when faced with war or threat.
"In case a war breaks out, in order to eliminate any evidence, we are supposed to wipe out the prisoners, so that no evidence of inmates remains ... In each political prison camp there are tunnels ...," said a former prison guard at Camp 22, Ahn Myong-chol to the UN Commission of Inquiry.
"These tunnels were dug so that we can eliminate the inmates in the event that we had to erase any evidence of their existence ... Every camp has an artillery ... to annihilate all evidence should there be an attack or a war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula ... should a war break out, the guards are supposed to shoot everybody under their supervision."
The urge against North Korea's genocide to the International Criminal Court was approved from the community of nations. The exposure of Kim Jong-un's brutality was exposed through the proliferation of communication methods including mobile phones, laptops and other technology. This paved the way for people to establish communication from North Korea to the outside world.
A video entitled "A Plea for Action" was uploaded to expose North Korea's genocide:
In the video, Robert Park's voice is heard exposing the actual condition of the prisoners in the concentration camps, mostly revealed by prison camp escapees. Park went to North Korea and initiated liberation of the camps, calling for leaders to step down. He said, "What really frightens me, and all others, is that North Korean machines within North Korea are restructuring these camps and they already wiped out Camp 22, which is one of the most notorious campsin Yodok and with 20,000 people."
"Right now, the other camps are also being restructured. People believe they are all going to be eliminated."
