The edict was[URL='http://www.economist.com/node/21553090'] introduced in 1972[/URL] by Kim Il-sung and said up to three generations had to be punished to wipe out the 'seed' of class enemies. Crimes for which North Koreans can find themselves sent to a prison camp can allegedly include failure to wipe dust off portraits of Kim Il-sung and having contact with South Koreans. Conditions in the country's prison and labour camps are notoriously harsh. Survivors have described prisoners becoming stunted and deformed from carrying out hard labour for 12 hours a day, seven days a week. Clothing and food are said to be so scarce inmates are forced to survive on any animals they can capture such as rats. [/QUOTE]
