The BBC said the man, identified as Kwon Hyok, was a former North Korean army intelligence officer who defected to South Korea. It also said that he was formerly chief guard at No 22 Control Centre, a widely reported prison camp in the North's north-eastern tip.

Kwon Hyok described a glass-sided gas chamber at the camp, in which scientists observed inmates as they were gassed.

Dr Kim described a similar glass chamber, saying he watched as prisoners were gassed to death using a cyanide-based poison. He said he "participated in the murder of people" beginning in 1979

A 2003 report by the US Committee for Human Rights in North Korea said between 150,000 and 200,000 political prisoners are confined to camps in North Korea, subjected to starvation diets, inhumane conditions and torture.

Japan set up Headquarters of Unit 731 in Ping Fan near Harbin and Unit 100 in ChangChun, and Mukden, now called SunYang, in China to develop plague bombs for use in WWII. The base was disguised as Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Unit. The complex in Ping Fan was completed in 1939, contained more than 150 buildings, including 2 secret prisons and 3 crematoria, and was the largest WMD Biological Weapon research center in the world

[B]Mass Escape at N. Korean Concentration Camp]
CNN 0925 GMT (1725 HKT), February 7, 2007
• Official at South Korea's Unification Ministry unable to confirm reports
• Daily NK report calls prison break unprecedented
• Hwasong prison camp holds 10,000 prisoners, Daily NK says
• Daily NK also reports of escape by 20 North Korean border guards

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- Some 120 inmates escaped from a political concentration camp in northeastern North Korea several months ago in an unprecedented prison break, news reports said Tuesday.
The prisoners escaped from Hwasong camp in North Hamgyong, a province close to the Chinese and Russian borders, in December, the Dong-a Ilbo newspaper reported Wednesday.
Daily NK, a Seoul-based Internet news site focusing on North Korea, also carried a similar report on Tuesday.
Both reports cited multiple unnamed sources in North Korea.
An official at South Korea's Unification Ministry, which deals with North Korean affairs, said he was unable to confirm the reports but questioned their reliability. The official spoke on customary condition of anonymity.
News leaked from the reclusive North, which shuns outside access, is usually hard to confirm.
The Daily NK report said the area was put in a "state of emergency" after the prison break, calling it unprecedented.
North Korean authorities have since tightened inspections at Hwasong and adjacent cities to catch the fugitives, of whom 21 have so far been caught, the report said. So far, 21 prisoners have been caught, most of whom were found in China and sent back to the communist North after failed attempts to defect to South Korea, the report said.
The Hwasong prison camp -- located deep inside a mountain and encircled by high wire fences -- holds about 10,000 prisoners, Daily NK said. The escape seemed to have been carefully planned with outside help since the escapees drove off in a vehicle waiting outside the prison, according to the report.
Between 150,000 and 200,000 people are believed to be held in prison camps in the communist North for political reasons, according to U.S. government data.
Separately, Daily NK reported Sunday that 20 North Korean guards along the border with China had fled the country to avoid arrest for allegedly helping North Korean defectors cross the border.
The guards had fled to China, where the North sent intelligence officials to capture them, the report said, citing a North Korean resident.
Hundreds of North Koreans leave the country every year to escape poverty and political repression, usually through China. Defectors in South Korea say they usually bribe border guards to cross the border.
