As if there weren’t already enough reasons to despise the evil pervading Pyongyang, here’s another that even liberals can wrap their minds around.

North Korea has been accused of killing the babies of women who are forcibly repatriated from China.

Kept in short-term detention camps, the women are either given abortions or their babies are killed at birth, according to a report by the US Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (CHRNK). [...]

One woman told of being forced to assist injection-induced labours and then watching as a baby was suffocated with a wet towel in front of its mother.

Many former prisoners told of babies buried alive or left face down on the ground to die. They were told by guards this was to prevent the survival of half-Chinese babies.
