Does North Korea throw its Olympic athletes into gulags?
North Korea’s boy-king Kim Jong-un wants his country’s Olympic team to bring back five gold medals from the Rio Olympics. That’s a lot of pressure from a regime rumored to have tortured previous failed Olympic athletes, and that has allegedly banished them to remote parts of the country and forced them to do backbreaking labor in the coal mines. So is there a real possibility of team North Korea getting tortured or jailed for not bringing back the gold?
