According to a source, the move aimed to sooth public sentiment angered by continued human rights abuses at the camp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A source in Chagang Province told Daily NK on Thursday that authorities replaced the administrators of the camp \u201cfrom late November to December.\u201d He said while it is unclear exactly how many people were replaced, it was \u201creportedly around 600.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the source, new administrators were sent to the Songgan camp after receiving training from the Ministry of Social Security\u2019s corrections bureau in Pyongyang. North Korean authorities reportedly selected recommended individuals with strong party loyalty who had been organizationally vetted, but who had \u201crelatively mild temperaments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In particular, the source said North Korean authorities selected as the camp\u2019s new head someone who had been head of the \u201ccorrectional life department\u201d of the corrections bureau in the Ministry of Social Security. Above all, the new director is a one-star general, making him &#8211; militarily speaking &#8211; the highest ranking head of a correctional labor camp in North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said the shakeup was ordered \u201cbecause beatings, violence and other abuses had continuously taken place\u201d at the camp, which is Chagang Province\u2019s sole correctional labor camp and houses only inmates from the province. He added that local residents \u201cgrew agitated\u201d at problems at the camp, and so \u201call the camp\u2019s administrators were replaced.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, in July, a camp guard brought a female prisoner to a separate work site and raped her. When she resisted, he killed her and buried her body on a nearby mountain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The guard was publicly executed by firing squad, but as word of the incident spread widely, the mood in the province turned ugly. That is to say, the authorities detected signs of local disaffection after the horrible incident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/\uc790\uac15\ub3c4_eng.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/\uc790\uac15\ub3c4_eng.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/\uc790\uac15\ub3c4_eng-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/\uc790\uac15\ub3c4_eng-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/\uc790\uac15\ub3c4_eng-100x70.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/\uc790\uac15\ub3c4_eng-696x487.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/01\/\uc790\uac15\ub3c4_eng-600x420.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said the Ministry of Social Security\u2019s corrections bureau investigated the administrators of Songgan Correctional Labor Camp for high-handedness, abuse and corruption, finding a record of problems. In the end, they decided to replace the entire administration of the camp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, over half the families of the new administrators are reportedly avoiding the move to Chagang Province.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cChagang Province has a bad climate, being frigidly cold in winter and swelteringly hot in summer. It has a reputation of being deep in the mountains, and since even smuggling is tough, there\u2019s no way to make a living there, so they\u2019re not coming,\u201d said the source. \u201cThere have even been cases of wives with a lot of money paying off the cadre department to discharge their husbands before they get dispatched to Songgan Correctional Labor Camp.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The camp\u2019s original administrators have reportedly been scattered to other regions as security personnel. However, they have had to leave their families behind in Chagang Province due to the sudden transfers, leading to complaints among the former administrators, the source said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, authorities created a new department at Songgan Correctional Labor Camp last September to handle provincial residents sentenced to milder forms of disciplinary labor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSince most residents of Chagang Province work in munitions factories, there are many cases of them getting caught siphoning off munition supplies,\u201d said the source. \u201cYou have to punish them when they do that, but it seems [authorities] intend to go easier on them by giving them forced labor sentences since they know the production processes at the munition factories and where the underground tunnels are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In North Korea, if you are sentenced to correctional labor, you are stripped of your civic rights and party membership, a symbol of your political life. If you are sentenced to forced labor, however, you keep your civic rights and continue to live as a party member.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said the measure aims to promote unity \u201cby showing to residents of Chagang Province that they can take hope and live in the bosom of the Party, ever forgiven through the magnanimity of the Party.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"td-post-header\"><em>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"td-post-header\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/%ec%84%b1%ea%b0%84%ea%b5%90%ed%99%94%ec%86%8c-%ea%b4%80%eb%a6%ac%ec%9e%90-%ec%a0%84%ec%9b%90-%ea%b5%90%ec%b2%b4%eb%8b%a8%eb%a0%a8%ed%98%95-%ea%b4%80%eb%a6%ac%eb%b6%80%ec%84%9c%eb%8f%84\/\">Read in Korean<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korean authorities reportedly replaced the entire administrative staff of Correctional Labor Camp No. 6 in Songgan County, Chagang Province, late last year, including the head of the camp.
