North Korean women detained in prison camps suffered from torture, rape and other forms of “multiple and serious” violence by security and police officials, a U.N. human rights report said on Tuesday, citing accounts from over 100 women. Many also said in the report titled “I Still Feel The Pain” that they were subjected to torture, invasive body searches, forced abortions and even rape by authorities there. It was excruciating to a level that I even attempted to commit suicide,” one woman was quoted as saying. Another woman recalled one of her first nights in detention in 2010 when she was raped by an officer. He even told me he could help me to be released sooner if I did as he said,” she said.
