North Korea 'Publicly put to death 80 People'- South Korean Paper Reports

north korea public execution
North Korea publicly performed round 80 persons previous this month, many for observing smuggled South Korean TV displays, a South Korean bulletin reported Monday.

The cautious JoongAng Ilbo cited a single, unidentified source, but at smallest one North Korean defector group said it had perceived rumours that lent integrity to the front-page report.

The source, said to be well known" with the North's interior affairs and recently returned from the homeland, said the executions were carried out in seven towns on November 3.

In the to the east dock of Wonsan, the administration accumulated 10,000 people in a sports stadium to watch the execution of eight persons by firing squad, the source cited one eyewitness as saying.

Most were ascribed with observing illegal South Korean TV dramas, and some with prostitution.

some of the towns, including Wonsan and Pyongsong in the west, have been designated as exceptional economic zones directed at attracting foreign investment to increase the North's moribund finances.

The Seoul-based news website, every day NK, which is run by North Korean defectors and has a broad network of causes, said it had no information on the executions.

But another defector-run website, North Korea Intellectual Solidarity, said its causes had described some months before on designs for a wave of public executions.

"The regime is obviously afraid of potential alterations in persons's mindsets and is pre-emptively endeavouring to scare persons off," said one website authorized.

Watching unsanctioned foreign films or TV -- particularly those from the capitalist South -- is a serious infringement in North Korea.

although, efforts to control their circulation have been circumvented by technology, with an expanding number being smuggled in on DVDs, flash drives and mp3 players.

As well as South Korean soap operas, US shows like Desperate Housewives are accepted to have a little but avid following.
