North Korea is becoming increasingly dangerous.
China used to be the United States’ best hope in diffusing tension between a delusional dictator and his dangerous nuclear toys, but it doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
And now the Supreme Leader of North Korea is doing something that’s causing a massive concern.
It wasn’t long ago that former NBA basketball star Dennis Rodman was being a peacekeeper between the UN and the U.S.
The dictator of North Korea hates nearly everything associated with America, but for some odd reason he’s taken an affection towards the former Bulls forward.
Kim Jong-Un keeps toying with his nuclear arsenal, ignoring the growing concern from the rest of the world.
But the way they execute criminals is extremely disturbing.
Nearly the entire civilized world has put public executions in their rearview mirrors, but that’s not the case with Kim Jong-Un’s North Korea.
The New York Post reports:
Kim Jong Un’s brutal North Korean regime shot so-called “criminals” to death in schoolyards and fish markets in a twisted attempt to create an “atmosphere of fear” throughout the dictatorship, a Wednesday report from a human rights group revealed.
The report, released by the Transnational Justice Working Group in Seoul, gathered information from more than 300 North Korean refugees who witnessed the regime’s firing squad executing criminals in public areas to attract large crowds and instill fear in its citizens.
“In ordinary areas outside the prison system, our interviewees stated that public executions take place near river banks, in river beds, near bridges, in public sports stadiums, in the local marketplace, on school grounds in the fringes of the city, or on mountainsides,” the report stated.
The report said people were publicly executed for crimes such as stealing rice and livestock and distributing South Korean media.
Those prisoners were mixed in with citizens convicted of violent crimes, such as murder and manslaughter, as well as organized prostitution and sexual assault.
“Many interviewees said that the final decision for a public execution was often influenced by individuals having a ‘bad’ family background in addition to the crime they were alleged to have committed,” the report stated.
The executions were carried out publicly to create an ‘atmosphere of fear,’ according to the report.
The South Korean non-governmental organization that authored the document also mapped out the “killing sites” in provinces within the dictatorship, hoping such detailed work would finally help to hold the rogue regime accountable for what the TJWG called crimes against humanity.
“The maps and the accompanying testimonies create a picture of the scale of the abuses that have taken place over decades,” the report said.
Kim’s regime has long denied human rights abuses.
But in 2014, a United Nations commission report found the country had a slew of human rights violations.
North Korea, however, has continued to insist its citizens are protected under the country’s constitution, Reuters reported.
Pyongyang also accuses the United States of being the ‘world’s worst rights violator.’
Questions about North Korea’s treatment of prisoners recently made international news after American student Otto Warmbier died last month.
Warmbier was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor last year for allegedly stealing a political poster from a hotel in Pyongyang.
But North Korea returned him last month to his Cincinnati home in a coma. Warmbier had suffered severe brain damage and soon died.
North Korea denied cruelly treating or torturing Warmbier during his time in prison, saying they were the ‘biggest victim’ in the incident.
North Korean defectors have long denounced the abysmal conditions and the violation of human rights because Kim Jong-Un is a disturbed man with a God complex.
The irony is that Jong-Un is more of a danger to his own citizens than he is to the rest of the world.
I have just discovered the site of off the wire. while I must read more it seems to be very direct and without all the spin we see on the other sites. On casual glance we have a wide range of newstopics that seem to bedirect and offer the facts. this is refreshing to say the least. the article about the murders that are displayed in school yards and markets show the typical methods of a dictator that has little to offer to his people but force to control. Are these people in such fear that no resistance possible? Having nearly every male in the armed forces I assume that it would be possible for this type of control. what I cannot understand is how he can control the media so completely?. With such brutality someone would try to take over. posably president Trump should see what method he uses to find the people against him. we certainly have many who think themselves better to run the nation than he. I will follow this site to see and evaluate its worth to myself. it will be refreshing to find an outlet that produces some truthful stories.
Grampa
Some one should eliminate that discusting north Korean leader he`s like a snail they found under a rock.
Let him understand, he could break our leg, but NK will sis to exist . Is he willing to die , with his country in order to hurt the USA?
J, McCain is showing the AMERICAN people the traitor he really is.
Yeah, NKorea is a mess… but why aren’t we talking about health care? Trump promised on the TV that “everyone will have the best health Care” but now he’s pushing a bill that will cost 20,000,000 people (including ME, probably!!) their insurance.
WTF, that’s not why we elected him! HE LIED TO ME.
Talk to the Dummycrats and the traitorous RINO.s. He is trying but these colluding assholes are blocking every way they can.
I say,,,,eliminate this Chung. Tie the bastard to that same rocket and, send him the hell out of this world to explode in outer space.
We are going to have to kill a lot of NORK’s to get to this mentally ill jerk…….collateral damage now….
The good news is NK missiles will only reach the West Coast. That could be an end to the perverted trash.
So if one lives on the West Coast we are all trash?
