SICKENING footage that allegedly shows a North Korean woman being brutally beaten by secret police as she is accused of having sex with Chinese and South Korean men has emerged online.

The torturer from the Ministry of State Security is seen interrogating the woman, who is kneeling and has her hands tied together, before jumping up and kicking her to the floor.

He then grabs her and shakes her violently while accusing her over and over.

Chillingly, what appears to be blood can be seen dripping down the wall of the cell.

The thug tries to pull down the woman's trousers to "check" if she has been sleeping with foreigners and then appears to use a rope to throttle her.

The unverified video, released by Liveleak, also shows a blindfolded defector having his legs twisted with a stick after he is accused of destroying a picture of former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.

He is then forced to stand and cowers from a savage assault by the evil officer.

The Ministry of State Security is reputed to be one of the most brutal police forces in the world.

Vile scenes like this are not uncommon in North Korea.

Political prisoners are casually killed, tortured and raped by their sadistic captors.

In April a North Korean woman who fled the tyrannical regime described the unthinkable horrors she witnessed as a prison guard.

As a 20-year-old Lim Hye-jin was forced to watch two brothers who escaped the concentration camp get beheaded after they were caught – as a savage warning to other inmates.

More and more North Koreans are defecting from the impoverished dictatorship and have given harrowing accounts of human rights abuses.

A former prison guard at Kwanliso 16, the largest political prison camp in North Korea, describes detainees being forced to dig their own graves and women being raped by visiting officials and then disappearing.

He said: "After a night of 'servicing' the officials, the women had to die because the secret could not get out. This happens at most of the political prison camps."

Many of the prisoners die of malnutrition and overwork in dangerous conditions.
