The hidden gulag IV : gender repression & prisoner disappearances
David R. Hawk (Author), Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (Issuing body)
Examines the expansion of Kyo-hwa-so No. 12 to include, for the first time, a women's section that holds upwards of a thousand women. The expansion reflected a wave of arbitrary detention of thousands of North Korean women, a large majority of whom were imprisoned after being forcibly repatriated from China. This report also examines the demolition of Sorimchon and provides the names of many of the former prisoners, whose fate and present whereabouts remain largely unknown. These North Koreans are doubly disappeared: first, in their deportation without trial or judicial process into incommunicado detention; and second, in regards to their fate and whereabouts following the demolition of the Sorimchon section of Kwan-li-so 15
