A video footage has been leaked from the very secretive state, North Korea, showing little kids as young as 5 being forced to do hard jobs like loading sacks with heavy rocks, carrying the heavy sacks and repairing railways under the sun for as long as 10 hours a day.
The video, secretly recorded and released by Daily Mirror has angered Human Rights groups, as while this kids are forced to work for the North Korean government like slaves, Supreme leader Kim Jong-Un enjoys a luxury live hundreds of miles away.
Human rights activists have accused Kim of depriving kids of their childhood, claim some kids from poor backgrounds have not been to school in a year and child workers face brutal beatings if they fail to do their jobs.
Michael Glendinning, of the European Alliance of Human Rights in North Korea, said: “The footage obtained by the Mirror is startling in its documentation of one of the worst abuses the North Korean state inflicts – child labour.”
