Some North Korean forced labor camps giving more “production tasks” than last year
The Kaechon camp has received lots of thread to make knitted clothes, eyelashes, wigs and especially crocheted caps, knitted caps
It isn't easy to reconcile this with the "great life-and-death struggle" in North Korea though. Wigs and false eyelashes seem to lack something when it comes to the indomitable spirit and purity of the socialist revolution.
North Korea leader Kim Jong Un has warned of a "great life-and-death struggle" for his nation as he marked the end of his 10th year in power.
In a New Year speech, Kim spoke of a need to "push forward" with national defence build-up plans "without any delay".
But, in summaries of the speech published by North Korean state media, there was no specific mention of the United States and only passing reference to relations with South Korea and "external affairs".

Well, I bet it's a life and death struggle for the people in the forced labour camps. And I bet it is for a lot of ordinary people trying to get through the winter.
That's probably not what their glorious leader meant, though.
Just for a moment, I thought that was about a sweatshop in the UK, but maybe I got the wrong end of the cudgel...
Sam - I'm mildly surprised that North Koreans have children, but maybe we are much more adaptable than we imagine in our developed world comfort.
Scrobs - they may not have enough energy to sweat.
