2. Location, Imprisonment and Process of Release 1) Location and Size of PPC Ahn Myong-chol, former PPC guard, has provided us important information on the location, size and the processes of consolidation and separation of functions with respect to PPC No.’s 11, 13 and 22. The location, closure and relocation of PPC 11 and 13 have been confirmed by Ahn. His information includes details of location, size and the relevant branch of government administering PPC No. 22. Witness A08, former SSA officer at PPC No. 12 and 13 for an extended period of time, has given us detailed information in respect to the timing of establishment, division, size and the relevant government branch responsible for camp management of PPC No.’s 12 and 13. “PPC 18 at Pukchang was created before PPC 13 at Chongsong, North Hamkyong Province. I was told by camp officials of Pukchang PPC that their PPC was created 3 years before ours. I was told that the PPC at Chongsong was set up around April of 1964. PPC 13 was divided into two camps in 1975. The number of prisoners when I first arrived in PPC No. 13 was 5,000. The number increased to over 20,000. The large prisoner population increase was the main cause of the PPC being divided into PPC No.’s 12 and 13.What existed there already was simply split for the purpose of administration.” (A08, former SSA officer at PPC No. 12 and 13 1967~1992) 43
