Sadly, on the other hand, disappearances in North Korea are reported by Amnesty International to be far too quite common.

2009: ISRAELI’S APARTHEID WALLS

Similar, in some ways to the USA-Mexican border, the Israeli walls are being put up with great speed and people are dying at them fairly often as occurs at the USA-Mexican border.

Israeli planners studied both the East German Wall design and U.S. border control designs before going the route of constructing their tall cement walls starting in this decade.

As with North Korea, government sponsored torture is done with great impunity generally in the case of Israel.
