More bad press for North Korea….
Seems Cannibalism is indeed practiced, not on a regular basis but because there is such a shortage of food in certain areas.
A 791-page document is in the hands of the Caleb Mission in South Korea and it describes 721 different criminal cases dealing with food. Five were cases of one person eating another.
Including in the report was the story of a guard, driven crazy by hunger, killed his co-worker with an ax to satiate his starvation. After eating his fill the soldier then sold the rest of the meat as mutton to unsuspecting people.
The document is called “Manual for workers in law enforcement” and the evidence of criminal activity because of food is a contradiction to the U.S. special envoy to North Korean rights lead by Robert King. The team concluded the food shortage in North Korea wasn’t a widespread crisis.
I’m sorry, but if there is even one case of someone eating someone else because he was starving then it’s a crisis. [Weird Asia News]
