Killed for watching TV: North Korea executes 80 people in public 'for viewing South Korean movies and owning Bibles'

In one, people including women and
children were herded into a stadium and forced to watch eight people
die from machine gun fire

The executions are reported to have taken place in several cities

North Koreans are forced to adhere to a doctrine which mixes Marxism
with the worship of North Korea's founder Kim Il Sung and his
descendents. Pictured are soldiers marking the 65th anniversary of the
country's founding in Pyongyang

Several large-scale public executions
of around 80 people have taken place in North Korea, according to a
South Korean newspaper.

In one, woman and children were herded into a sports stadium and forced to watch people being shot dead by machine gun fire.

The executions took place on Sunday November 3, a source told the paper.

Why the executions took place is
difficult to ascertain, but the paper speculates that they may have been
carried out to quell unrest and stop capitalist ideology from growing,
as they took place in areas of recent economic growth.

Some
of the deaths may also have been a punishment for the perceived crimes
of watching South Korean movies, distributing pornography, using
prostitutes and possessing Bibles.

JoongAng Ilbo reported that in Wonsan,
in Kangwon Province, 10,000 people were ordered into Shinpoong Stadium,
and forced to watch eight people, who were tied to stakes with sacks
over their heads, being killed by machine guns.

Its
source said: ‘I heard from the residents that they watched in terror as
the corpses were riddled by machine-gun fire that they were hard to
identify afterwards.’

Consider the source: a sensationalist South Korean publication. I'd want confirmation before believing this story.

[#19]

Is there video? Kind of helps the credibility of the story along. Not that I have much trouble believing that the NK regime has any trouble executing people, after the treatment they received in NK custody execution may have been a mercy.

Given that he had his ex girlfriend and a shit-ton of her coworkers publicly (and very definitely) executed in a similar manner not all that long ago, I don't think anyone here will get worked up over the sourcing.

What's that old adage about country names? Republic usually equals republic. People's Republic really equals oppressive dictatorship and near universal poverty. Democratic People's Republic really equals extremely corrupt and oppressive dictatorship with genocidal tendencies.

The only things the progressive side actually progresses on are more complete means of accomplishing state oppression and murder.

I have no doubt that those people were executed, but probably for more than watching SK movies and possessing Bibles.

I imagine more executions take place in North Korea on a weekly basis than we hear about in the West. No doubt some are sentenced to camps or murdered by the state on the whims of government bureaucrats trying to prove their loyalty to the regime without having committed any crime to begin with. Very much like Stalin's reign, and certainly predictable.

Those people truly live a horrible existence.

Sad.

I have no doubt they killed 80 people, though the real reason is probably because the dead pissed someone off or they were just picked at random by a party official looking to pad his yearly job eval.
