Starving? WeWill Soon Cure That: North Korea

.
I'm a bit late in the day for posting I having been visiting the Mammy, but it was there I saw this report in hard print so I thought it worth bringing up.

How evil does a regime get that it does this to it's own people, and it gets worse, at the bottom of the page read about the fishermen who were executed.

North Korea has publicly executed 15 starving people, mostly women, for illegally entering neighbouring China in search of food, an aid group said yesterday.

The 13 women and two men were shot on a bridge in the north-eastern town of Onseong as local residents watched. It was the second mass execution to be reported this week.

The group of 15 were sentenced to death for illegally crossing the border into China or for helping others to do so, to ask for help, in money or food, from relatives living there.

The report of the shootings, on February 20, came from the South Korean group, Good Friends, which works in the North.

Officials in South Korea's unification ministry, who handle relations with the impoverished communist North, could not confirm the bridge killings.

But Good Friends said residents were appalled by what they saw.more
