I've added more information. The next editor might expand the article by providing links to some of the imagery that is supposed to reveal this as a real complex of buildings. (Although I personally don't think the pictures will be of other than plain buildings used by military, industry or village). --Bjornar 13:35, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Korean name
What is the Korean name of this camp? I get only one hit for 성호리 수용소. -- Visviva 07:55, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think it must be 승호리, possibly in 승호구역, Pyongyang. --Reuben 01:30, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Groovy! Thanks. (Why didn't I think of that?) If Amnesty's report of its position is correct, I think it has to be in Kangdong, where some sources have it, rather than Pyongyang ... the Sunghori bridge was only 10 km from Pyongyang in 1952, so this Sunghori must be different from that one. [1] On the other hand, Kangdong neighbors Sungho kuyok, so it's hard to be sure. In fact, it's not even clear that the camp is still operating ... I would cite this to the effect that it was closed after the AI report, but it's just a forum post. More work is needed, I guess, as always... -- Visviva 04:26, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Kangdong = Kangdong-kun of Pyongyang? Or is there another Kangdong? I have seen some sources that Senghori stopped operating in 1991. --Reuben 08:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
