  Conscripts Forced to Eat Human Excrement

  
  

  A company commander at the Korea Army Training Center (KATC) in Nonsan, South Chungcheong Province, forced conscripts in basic training to eat human feces.

  
  

  The Army said Thursday it had arrested Capt. Lee, a company commander with the 3rd Regiment of the training center's 29th Battalion, on charges of having forced conscripts to eat human feces because he was unhappy with the way the bathrooms had been cleaned.
  

  On January 10, Lee discovered during an inspection of the center¡¯s bathrooms that two of twenty sit-down toilets had not been flushed. Witnesses say he went to the barracks and told 192 conscripts to stick their fingers in the feces and put them in their mouths.
