Part 3/8:
Kim Il-sung, North Korea's founding leader, adopted Stalinist principles to consolidate power, creating a system of "quano," or prison camps, designed to eliminate any dissent. These camps have become key instruments of oppression, where fear is used to suppress the population. Approximately 120,000 individuals have been reported missing, with many believed to be held in these hidden labor camps for challenging the regime or simply for being relatives of dissenters.
