North Korea executes citizens for illegally copying and distributing movies
Authorities in North Korea are intensifying a crackdown on imports of South Korean popular culture, especially television dramas, but the South�s �Korean Wave� may already have taken a strong hold in the isolated Stalinist state. The crackdown includes public executions of those found responsible for copying and distributing such materials.
"There have been two or three reports of public executions of North Korean young people in major cities including Chungjin, as punishment for having illegally copied and distributed South Korean visual material."
- Kang Chul Hwan, vice-chairman of the Seoul-based Committee for the Democratization of North Korea
