MODERATORS
I'll get around to the comment you addressed to me but:
Death camps are camps used for killing people, usually in a semi-industrialized fashion. The DPRK has never had these. It has prison labor, but that's not the same. South Korea also has prison labor.
Edit: Regarding your article, aside from HRW being literally purpose-built for laundering those sorts of stories and the "evidence" being an office in the UN submitting something for discussion, South Korea also has accusations against it of torturing political prisoners.
Still no death camps in "north kora"
Okay, if you want to play semantic games with the word death camp you're more than welcome to. It's weird you feel the need to defend North Korea or draw moral equivalency between North Korea and South Korea when there is none.
The source you linked mention 50 people. North Korea has political prison populations in the tens of thousands.

There is a lot of criticism a person could level at South Korea, such as its people are overworked and a lack of social welfare programs that have allowed people to starve to death in their homes. Capitalist countries are not without their issues, but it's weird the indignation stops at authoritarian countries.
