North Korea has reportedly publicly executed 80 people for watching South Korean television shows. The unconfirmed killings, said to be the first known large-scale executions by the Kim Jong-Un regime, took place across seven cities earlier this month, a source told South Korea's JoongAng Ilbo Daily.
Eight people had their heads covered with white sacks and were tied to stakes at Shinpong Stadium in Wonsan, in Kangwon Province, as they were shot dead by North Korean forces, the newspaper reported.
Witnesses apparently told the source that authorities forced some 10, people, including children, to watch the execution. The victims were allegedly charged with watching or illegally trafficking South Korean videos, being involved in prostitution or possessing a Bible. Relatives of those executed and implicated in their alleged crimes were reportedly sent to prison camps. North Korean law allows executions for conspiring to overthrow the government, treason and terrorism.
