Shin Dong-hyuk, a prominent North Korean defector, whose dramatic escape from a brutal prison camp was the subject of a bestselling book, has changed key parts of his story and on Sunday apologized for misleading people, Reuters reported. In "Escape from Camp 14", written by former Washington Post journalist Blaine Harden, Shin said he was tortured when he was 13 after a failed attempt to flee Camp 14 where he was born in until a dramatic escape in 2005. Harden wrote on his website that he had been in contact with Shin, "pressing him to detail the changes and explain why he had misled me." Neither Harden nor Shin gave details about the changes.
