Brothers Home

Brothers Home (Korean: 형제복지원) was an internment camp located in Busan, South Korea during the 1970s and 80s. During its operation, it held thousands of people who were illegally rounded up off of the street, including children, the homeless, and even a college student who was protesting the regime. The camp was home to some of the worst human rights abuses in South Korea during the period, which were exposed in an Associated Press article in 2016.[1]
