North Korea’s Central Court has sentenced two South Korean journalists
and two media executives to death for reviewing a book that outlines a
sprawling underground capitalist economy in the secretive Communist
state.In an article on North Korean state media outlet KCNA, a spokesperson
for the court said that the book originally published in English and
since translated into Korean “insulted the dignity” of North Korea.
It declared that journalists Son Hyo Rim and Yang Ji Ho who work for
South Korean newspapers Dong-A Ilbo and Chosun Ilbo and Kim Jae Ho and
Pang Sang Hun, who serve as director general of the two titles
respectively, had received a death sentence by the Central Court of the
DPRK.
"The criminals hold no right to appeal and the execution will be carried
out any moment and at any place without going through any additional
procedures as soon as the objects are confirmed," the spokesperson said.
While North Korea singled out the conservative Dong-A and Chosun
newspapers, they weren’t the only publications that reviewed the book,
which was released in South Korea earlier this month.
