  • bamafun, on 07/01/2008, -0/+8In the book Aquariums of Pyongyang: Ten Years in a North Korean Gulag - they tell about this practice - Here is an excerpt
    "Hard labour awaited children after school, like carrying logs for miles or working in a gold mine, or searching for herbs up in the mountain, or even burying dead detainees, though the latter was considered a good job, as they could strip the corpse of its clothes and replace their own filthy and tattered ones which prove no barrier against the harsh winters.
