Seoul Train Reaction

I have heard from the news and many of my teachers that North Korea was a country in turmoil because of their leader. I saw a documentary on how people were getting eye surgery to remove cataracts that were causing blindness, and how they were praising their leader for the surgery. I have only seen one side of the story, never the true side either. The people in North Korea are in much despair. The children are starving so much that they are smaller than their South Korean neighbors. The Chinese return any North Korean refugees that they find; even though, the North Koreans are just trying to go to a safe place like South Korea. The Chinese should let them just pass through. If the Chinese have one brave bone in their body they will do what is right and pretend they don't know anything about where the refugees are going or that they are even North Korean. The torture that the North Koreans receive is inhumane and almost like a genocide for the defects who try to do something to escape the government. These prison camps they go to in North Korea sound pretty similar to the concentration camps that Hitler was running during World War II. It is going to take a lot of courage and a lot of people from around the world to help out the North Koreans. If hundreds of thousands of people or even millions protest against what is going on maybe somebody can do something about it.
