How one man escaped from a North Korean prison camp

I read this article in the Guardian last week and it made me sad but not surprised.
I guess I have heard similar stories...
However I thought I'd share it, I think many of you should read it...

There was torture, starvation, betrayals and executions, but to Shin In Geun, Camp 14 – a prison for the political enemies of North Korea – was home. Then one day came the chance to flee…

The unforgivable crime Shin's father had committed was being the brother of two young men who had fled south during the Korean war. Shin's crime was being his father's son.
