A group of North Koreans brutally executed for breaking COVID-19 restrictions
North Korean citizens are being told that the United States is plotting to spread the COVID-19 virus to “harm the highest dignity,” dictator Kim Jong Un. As a result, those who fail to keep the Hermit kingdom's quarantine orders are “brutally executed,” North Korea’s highest-ranking defector has revealed.
As part of efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, North Korea has “blocked all border customs and strictly cracked down on smuggling activities by creating a two-kilometre (1.24-mile) buffer zone along the long border,” reports Ri Jong Ho, who was an adviser to the late dictator Kim Jong Il.
“They even brutally executed people for failing to keep the coronavirus quarantine order,” he said. “The North Korean authorities could continue to block everything until the virus is completely eliminated in China, South Korea and the United States by linking the coronavirus with the safety of the highest dignity, Kim Jong-Un.”
In October, during a military parade commemorating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Workers’ Party, Kim Jong Un said he was grateful no one in his country had contracted the “malignant virus.”
Human rights activists, however, have alerted the global community to the realities inside North Korea, which is that people infected with COVID-19 are being placed in “quarantine camps” where they are deprived of food, water, and medicine, leading to starvation and death.
