  11. ESCAPE Mr Shin Dong-hyuk, the only person known to have successfully escaped a total control zone, owes his escape to a tragic coincidence. As nightfall approached on the day of his escape, a friend and he were assigned to collect firewood in the vicinity of the perimeter fence. They decided to seize the opportunity to escape. His friend reached the fence first and was electrocuted as he attempted to climb through a hole in the fence. Dangling on the wire, the friend’s body created a sufficiently insulated breach for Mr Shin to climb through and run away. Mr Shin explained the motivation underlying his risky decision: “I heard from this new inmate, that the people outside could eat the same food as the guards, freely. I could have been electrocuted, I could have been shot but I just wanted to have one day for which I could eat all the food that the people outside [the camp] ate.”[1] [1]Seoul Public Hearing, 20 August 2013, afternoon (01:11:40).

  12. Mr Shin Dong-hyuk was 13 years old when he reported a conversation he overheard between his mother and brother in which they talked about escaping from the camp. As a result, his mother and brother were both executed. Mr Shin had to watch the public execution of his mother and his brother, along with all other inmates. Mr Shin described the thought process leading to him denouncing his own mother as follows: “I first reported about their plan [to escape], because I was obliged to report every detail to the guards... That was the rule of the prison’s camp, so that’s why obviously I thought it was my job to report about their plan to the guard at that time. At my age, I was really proud of that. … I asked the supervisor to reward me, to give full portion of cooked, dried rice so fill my stomach. And, I was promised that reward and that’s why I reported about their plan.”[1] [1]Seoul Public Hearing, 20 August 2013, afternoon (00:41:00).
