North Korea is a closed country. Many strange experiments are being conducted in this country, many of which seem idiotic, ridiculous and cruel to human rights. These experiments had different goals. Some tried to solve global problems, others can only be called the method of torture. TheBiggest presents you the top ten most terrible and strange experiments in North Korea.
1
The practice of surgical operations on prisoners
This is one of the most shocking and ruthless experiments in North Korean prisons. They practice in conducting medical operations without anesthesia on living people who are conscious. This was reported by a North Korean prison guard who escaped from the DPRK. He said that people who carry out these executions and experiments all drink alcohol before that. But now they have become real experts in this matter.
Sometimes they hit prisoners with a hammer on the back of the head. Then the poor prisoners lose their memory. They are used as targets for shooting. “When the batch ends in the bureau, a black funnel appears in the jail, into which another batch of prisoners is being loaded. A funnel comes about once a month and takes 40-50 people to an unknown destination, ”says the guard.

North Korean Giant Rabbit Breeding Program
Karl Zmolinski is a world famous rabbit breeder from Germany. He was very upset when he found out that North Korean officials might have eaten his giant rabbits.
Zmolinsky awarded international awards. His rabbits can produce 7 kg of pure meat. He decided to help North Korea solve the food problem. He believed that they would breed their rabbits to feed people. He even sold animals at a lower price. But then the rabbits disappeared without explanation.
Karl Zmolinsky claims that North Korean officials simply ate his rabbits themselves. Although, perhaps, the reason was the great gluttony of giant rabbits. In any case, Zmolinsky was furious with this and refused to sell more rabbits to North Korea. By the way, there is a very interesting article about the largest rabbit breeds on thebiggest.ru.

North Korea State Human Feces Program
North Korea has long been receiving fertilizers for agriculture from South Korea. When the southern neighbors stopped supplying them with fertilizers, they took other measures. The country began using human feces for growing crops. This meant that citizens of the country should eat food grown in their own excrement. The country even has a strict state plan for feces. Large plants must fulfill the plan of two tons of human feces per day.

Poisoned Cabbage Leaves
North Korea has no limits when it comes to experimenting with people. They do things that are difficult for us to understand. For one of their experiments, they took 50 female prisoners who were completely healthy. They were forced to take part in a deadly experiment. Every woman was forced to eat cabbage soaked in deadly poison. Women died a terrible death, screaming and puking. If women refused to eat cabbage, then they were intimidated by the death of family members.

5
Empty city near the border
This is one of the strangest North Korean experiments. A giant abandoned ghost town built on the border between North and South Korea. It is not known exactly what this city is for. Many believe that the city is propaganda to lure the inhabitants of South Korea into its territory. North Korea claimed that the city has many inhabitants, a thriving economy, modern buildings and infrastructure. South Korea quickly noticed that no one was there. Empty buildings, the light turns on strictly at certain periods. Sometimes they saw service workers. Perhaps the DPRK authorities wanted to show that their country has prosperous and modern cities.

Camp 22
Camp 22 is a North Korean concentration camp, very similar to those that existed during World War II. Prisoners and their entire family are held in custody until their death. The camp guards are taught that prisoners are factionalists and class enemies of the country who need to be destroyed as a useless weed. Prisoners are seen as flies that can be killed at any time if the guard feels the need.
Even if they obey all the rules, they will still be killed. The defector said that once he ordered 31 people to be executed because one of the prisoners tried to escape.

Method of torturing a tree through a knee
North Korea is known to experiment with torture in humans. These are shocking ways to get information. One of the worst ways to torture is the knee and tree method. We did not find an accurate description of the torture process, we only know that the prisoner should kneel on a wooden bar. After a week, the ability to walk is lost, and after a month death occurs. This method is mainly used on the so-called enemies of the state, who are often captured.
8
Water torture method
This method of torture is not easy to survive. The prisoner should stand in a small room, which is slowly filled with water to a certain level. Water comes to such a level until a person stands on tiptoe to breathe. Only the prisoner's nose is on the surface. So you need to hold out for 24 hours. If the prisoner is not so strong, then he dies. This is not only a method of torture, but also a cruel form of execution. At thebiggest you can find out about other facts of water torture.

North Korean Space Program
North Korea is also trying to experiment with a space program that was launched in the 1980s. This program was very unsuccessful. They launched 6 satellites, but most of the launches were unsuccessful. Two of the five satellites did not enter orbit, two satellites could not be launched, but the last two launches were successful. Many North Korean astronauts died during these launches. Then the program was curtailed and another organization appeared, the National Aerospace Development Administration.

Anthrax test on children with disabilities
A scientist who fled from North Korea to Finland, said that experiments are being conducted in the country with chemical weapons, such as anthrax. Other defectors also confirmed that chemical weapons are tested on people and even on helpless children with disabilities. The purpose of such cruelties is the same - to see the course of death from poisoning. This is another human rights violation in North Korea. People around the world are calling on the UN to intervene. Thebiggest hopes that in the near future such tests will be discussed only in the past tense.
Finally
So we met several of North Korea’s terrible human experiments. But we must also take into account the fact that this is a very closed country and information about some experiments was transmitted by defectors who could exaggerate and even come up with some things. But where is the truth, where is the lie, you decide. And we thank you for your attention.
