This was posted on the usandnorth blog a while ago but it really belongs in the human rights blog
I only just learned about this guy the other day.
He was a German doctor who went to North Korea in the late 90's to help out where he could and became aware of and disgusted with the human rights abuses, neglect, and indifference to the general population by the North Korean regime.
He wrote a book about his stay in NK called "North Korea, diary of a mad place".
I can only find it in Japanese which I can not read so if anyone knows where I can find one in English, that would be a big help.

The book in English is very hard to find but I think this might be a part of the diary he kept. found it on the Dailynk site.

And here is some footage that I found on youtube. you cant understand much but the conditions of the hospital and the patients will tell a lot.
I do not know where in NK it was but I am pretty sure it was not Pyonyang....
Here is Norbert Vollertsen on C-Span talking about his tour of North Korea.
