Quite an obvious one.
NK are labeled a brutal, thuggish regime because an inmate leaves custody in a coma. Yet the country labelling them a such have an absolutely appalling track record of prisoners dying whilst incarcerated.

55,000 foreigners in US prisons as well (2011 data from a BBC article). Yet 4 US men held in DPRK is huge news. Admittedly, the whole coma thing seems very odd and i'm not sure we'll ever really know what has actually happened.
Well quite.
They don't have forced labour however, and nor do they imprison foreigners for "political crimes"
The US do have chain gangs still.

The US does have forced labour? And he was arrested for theft and trespassing, a potential prison crime in the US too.

Oh, who's being naive Kay?
Aye Guantanamo was just a holiday camp and they got to wear natty orange duds just to enhance the whole jolly experience
Are you comparing terrorism to stealing a sign? I'm naive?
Was everyone in Guantanamo a convicted terrorist? I must have missed that bit.
And I was making no link at all to what the US say the lad did,though for all we know he could well have been a CIA agent. This is the real world, where we never get to know the real truth.
Of course not. And I'm certainly not standing up for the US.
The second bit reeks of that conspiracy seeking arse on here
It can reek of whatever it likes, you know it has the potential to be true.
The royal family being lizards has the potential to be true as well.
It's unlikely

Only on the SMB could you find the North Korean judiciary system being defended like.
Who's defending it? Just saying there's propaganda on both sides and cos one side plays dirty doesn't automatically make the other side squeaky clean.
Give me a name of a foreign national who, having been found guilty in an American kangaroo court show trial, then mysteriously slipped into a coma shortly afterwards and their rapid health deterioration kept a secret from the outside world, from that foreign powers diplomats, from the tour group that guaranteed the safety of the foreign national and from the foreign nationals family.
This boy was kidnapped and given hard labour on trumped up non-charges. He was a hostage of a terrorist regime and used as a political pawn in the most appalling way.
Your point is poorly thought out, one dimension and you should be ashamed. For a westerner to compare the USA with that entity which styles itself as DPRK is astonishing.
