| Slavery thrives on this chain of rural islands off South Korea's rugged southwest coast, nurtured by a long history of exploitation and the demands of trying to squeeze a living from the sea. |
I've never heard of this before and no one will face punishment even though officials found out it is true. |

Disturbing article, out there now for all the world to see. I hope it prompts some national introspection.
As you may know, I'm generally a fan of Korea & Koreans, most of whom are caring people, but the country still has a good bit of cleaning up to do. |
