  • According to reports from Amnesty International and the U.S.
  • Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, by 2017 an estimated 200,000 prisoners are incarcerated in camps that are dedicated to political crimes, and subjected to forced labor, physical abuse, execution and human experimentation.
  • Thus, executions in Korea are considered to be abolished de facto.
  • The last executions took place in December 1997, when 23 people (each of whom has murdered at least 2 people) were put to death.
  • However, there are still at least 60 people with a death sentence, as of 2013.

Hope these help you!

Have a great day!
