This image shows, "the chicotte which was a viscous whip made out of raw, sun dried hippopotamus or rhinoceros, cut into a long sharp edge strip,this was use as a weapon to torture people. They would use this on bare buttocks and would leave permanent scars Twenty strokes of this and they would take the victims into unconsciousness, and 100 or more strokes would often be fatal. This was all under control of the King Leopold II of Belgium. And it all started when he was handed over Cong a "free" place.But King Leopold, who ironically never actually set foot in the Congo But really Siince 1996 Congo has been involved with violence that has killed 5.4 milolion people.But when King Leopold came in it is estimated that 5,400,000 have died as a result of the conflict, and an estimated 45,000 more die each month.

What is begin Done?
The organization called Liberty in North Korea and the reason they do started with this organization was the following. " Even if they make it to china, they face grave danger because the chines government arrest and forcibly repatriates North Korean refugees. If sent back, they undergo interrogation and are at the risk of extremely harsh punishment including torture, forced labor, forced abortions, and interment in a political camp. " Another reason was that if they do make it in China and don't get caught its hard to find a job because they have to start from zero and in some cations they have to become prostitutes or be forced in to sex trafficking. But you may be wondering how do they get the money to bring them over the border of North Korea. Most of it is donations from people and money from there sold products. Some people don't once a month and anyone can become part of this organization. Thankfully they have successful help 335 people escape from North Korea. But the organization only focuses on North Korea there are plenty of other organizations helping places like Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo. They can be contacted by looking at there website and people can donate make videos and become part of the movement or even just learn more about North Korea in general.
