N. Korea gassing prisoners, BBC says
2/1/2004
LONDON - A program made by Britain's BBC says North Korea is killing
political prisoners in experimental gas chambers and testing new chemical
weapons on women and children.
Titled ``Access to Evil,'', the program features an official North Korean
document that says political prisoners are used to test new chemical
weapons.
In a statement, the BBC said the documentary included comments by Kwon Hyuk,
a name given to a former military attache at the North Korean Embassy in
Beijing and chief of management at Prison Camp 22.
Using a drawing, he describes a gas chamber and the victims he says he saw
at the prison in the northeast of the secretive communist state, near the
Russian border.
``I witnessed a whole family being tested on suffocating gas and dying in
the gas chamber. The parents, son, and a daughter. The parents were vomiting
and dying, but 'til the very last moment they tried to save kids by doing
mouth-to-mouth breathing,'' he said.
``Normally, a family sticks together [in the gas chamber] ... and individual
prisoners stand separately around the corners. Scientists observe the entire
process from above, through the glass.''
Asked how he felt about the children, he said: ``It would be a total lie for
me to say I felt sympathetic about the children dying such a painful death.
Under the society and the regime I was in at the time, I only felt that they
were the enemies.
``So I felt no sympathy or pity for them at all.''
The documentary is for the BBC's ``This World'' series.
North Korean officials in London were unavailable to comment. BBC journalist
Olenka Frenkiel said she had three independent confirmations that Kwon Hyuk
was genuine.
