Ask a North Korean: Called in for questioning by government officials

"Once they take you away to the prison camp, you are never heard from again"

This week’s Ask a North Korean deviates somewhat from our usual formula. Instead of publishing answers to readers' questions, we’re publishing the third part of a series of excerpts from an upcoming e-book, "Goodbye, Pyongyang", by one of our longtime contributors, Ji-Min Kang, which will be released later this year. 

In this excerpt, Ji-Min, who now lives in London, recounts being called in for questioning by state officials.
