Camp 14: Total Control Zone Page #5

the international public. Openly.

There are many details to talk about

and many different eye-witness reports

have to be addressed in every aspect.

I didn't want to give

this interview at first.

I didn't want to say anything because

I'm not doing anything for my image

with this interview, but if

I don't do it, someone else will.

I was twenty-one, twenty-two.

I had stars on my shoulders.

I felt as if I was floating above the

clouds. I also always had a gun on me.

I wasn't scared of anything.

I just had to follow the inmates

and if I didn't feel like it anymore

I just shot them.

A human life in the camp was worth

the same as that of a fly.

Nobody ever told me I was

wrong for shooting someone.

Everything's like that in the

penal camp for political prisoners.

I never wanted to give an

interview like this one.

I'm seeing friends tonight.

A lot of us are meeting up together.

Some people avoid me because

they're scared of me.

I remind them of the old times.

In my uniform I looked

worse than the Gestapo.

I made light of it because

that's what I had been taught.

If you don't smoke, I won't either.

This is the last time.

After this interview I'll never talk about

my time in the camp again.

When it comes to my body

I live in South Korea.

But in my mind I still live in the camp.

I still feel like I hadn't quite

manage to leave the camp for good.

I would like to return

to North Korea, my home,

to a labour camp for prisoners.

I want to live in the

home where I was born.

I want to farm there and live

of the fruits of my own labour.

Even if I'm just eating corn.

If the border to North Korea ever opens up

I want to be the first

to travel back there.

I want to live in the

camp where I was born.

When I lived in the labour camp

I had to suffer a lot of pain.

I had to go hungry and put up with

beatings and punishment

because I didn't do my work well enough.

But in South Korea you have to suffer

when you don't have enough money.

It's exhausting. It's all about money.

That makes life tough for me here.

When I think about it I rarely saw

someone committing suicide in the camp.

Life was hard and exhausting

and you were an inmate in whole life.

In South Korea many people

attempt suicide, they die.

It may look like the people

here don't want to anything.

They have clothes and food.

But there are more people committing

suicide here than in the camp.

There are news reports

about that every day.

What do you miss of the life in

North Korea? What do you miss?

I miss the innocence and

the lack of concern I had.

In the camp where I lived

I had a pure heart.

I was really naive.

I didn't have to think about anything.

I didn't have to think about the power of

money and about solving problems with money.

I have to in South Korea.

Although I don't miss

everything from that camp.

I miss the purity of my heart.

I don't know how else to say it.

I miss my innocent heart.

There are currently 200,000 inmates

incarcerated in North Korean labour camps.
