NORTH Korea castrates dwarves and send babies and the disabled for medical, biological and chemical testing, Congleton’s MP has claimed.

The comments come following the recent events that saw Sony pull the theatrical release of The Interview after threats from cyber terrorists.

A devastating cyber attack on Sony threatened action if the movie, which centred on the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was released.

In a vivid speech, Fiona Bruce, MP for Congleton, spoke of the atrocities that occur in the world's most militarized country, reminding people that the famished country’s woes should not be the butt of anyone’s jokes.

Speaking in the House of Commons, Mrs Bruce said: “It is not a joke that desperate women wade across the frozen Tumen river to escape to China, only to be caught by Chinese men, sold into sexual slavery and then, when used up, sent back by the authorities to face torture in North Korea and the forced abortion of their unborn children.”

She also revealed some truly horrifying stories of how the disabled are sent for medical tests such as dissection of body parts, as well as tests of biological and chemical weapons.

"Dwarves are castrated,” she said. “Babies with mental and physical handicaps are routinely snatched from hospitals and left to suffer indescribable things until they die.

“The disabled in North Korea are simply disappeared.”

While Sony has come in for heavy criticism for pulling The Interview, the Congleton MP condemned the movie and its sensitive subject matter.

She said: “I decry inhibiting free speech, whatever the material, but life in North Korea is not a joke.”
