Seoul: North Korean leader executed 70 since taking power

“We hereby sternly warn that this hard-won opportunity could evaporate should (South Korea) continue provoking us, insulting our highest authority”, the statement said.

“Of course, the MOU has fully supports Madam Lee’s visit to North, but will examine (the application) after receiving rest schedules”, Jeong Jun-hui, MOU spokesperson said at the regular press briefing yesterday. “They were forcibly returned to their own country”.

Meanwhile, a separate official North Korean media outlet carried a threat to cancel next month’s planned visit by ex- South Korean first lady Lee Hee-ho. “It must have been an arrest”, he said. It appears North Korea’s “benevolent” ruler has a soft spot for baby terrapins (a small species of turtle), and was livid that several dozens at this particular farm had starved to death.

In the last decade, three federal district court judges, a panel of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and at least two South Korean courts have held North Korea and its agents responsible for either supplying weapons and training to terrorists, or attempting to kidnap or assassinate dissidents and human rights activists.

He attacked the South for “being persistent in forcing” North Koreans who stray into the South to “defect”, calling for an immediate repatriation of all the five people.

Three of them expressed a desire to live in the South while the two others wanted to return home.

As well as executions, it is alleged that the Kim regime maintains a system of prison and labor camps in which political dissidents are held and put to work in bad conditions, which many of their number do not survive.

Zhang Liangui, a professor at the worldwide Institute for Strategic Studies of the Central Party School, also told Global Times that he believes the leak would not have much of an effect on China-South Korea relations.

The farm staff tried to explain that this was the unhappy result of electrical, equipment, and water shortages well outside of their control, but Jong-Un dismissed these claims as “nonsensical”, accused the manager of willfully refusing to provide sufficient water to the hapless hatchlings, and sentenced him to death by shooting.

North Korea has executed the manager of an underperforming terrapin farm, following a “field guidance tour” of the site by Kim Jong-un. Approximately 1,400 North Koreans were publicly executed from 2000 to 2013, the Guardian reported.
