Escape from North Korea:Some thoughts.

I recently watched the last video on YouTube,about a group of North Korean girls attempting to flee their country into South Korea.

The journey itself,is long,and very hazardous.They had to slip into China undetected,and thanks to a South Korean chap,who has organised the escape route,will finally get into Thailand,and they can go straight to the South Korean Embassy to claim political asylum.

I really felt the fear and tension with the group,as they made their perilous journey to freedom.Anything could have gone wrong,the wrong word,a suspicion,and they would have all been arrested and sent back to North Korea to face instant execution.

Fortunately,I was very pleased to see this group succeed,but I really felt for those who were not so lucky.

In the safehouse,there was a young couple with a baby,barely two months old,and the father made a fatal mistake of smoking outside.He was spotted,and that was that.

It just makes me so sad and angry,how such a brutal and murderous regime can treat their own people this way......:(
