Ji-hyun Park is a North Korean refugee living in the UK.
Park first escaped North Korea with her brother in 1998 when they traveled to China and were Park was then sold into a forced marriage to a Chinese farmer for 5,000 yuan (600 pounds) with whom she had a child deemed stateless by the Chinese government.
In 2004 local villagers reported Park to the authorities resulting in her repatriation to North Korea and the endurance of horrific conditions in a labor camp.
 Ji-Hyun Park spent a year inside the brutal Chongjin labour camp, where she was forced to perform back-breaking manual labour after being deported from China as an 'economic defector'
After disobeying orders, Ji-Hyun was forced to clean out the filthy toilets in the labour camp with her bare hands.
Working long hours (4:30 am - midnight) on the mountainside to create terraced fields, the starving women would eat rats and raw potatoes in their fight for survival.
Today, Ji-hyun lives in Manchester with her partner and four children, where she is rebuilding her life after suffering in the labour camps.
