Over 35 North Korean female prisoners left to starve to death in labour camps

A total of 35 women in North Korea are reported to have died from starvation in labour camps in just one month.

The women, living under the tyrannical regime of dictator Kim Jong-un, are believed to have starved in July after their relatives were unable to visit them and give them food due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported the malnourished victims were kept in a camp near the capital of Pyongyang but were unable to verify the exact number of people who died.
