[imText1]According to an internal information source, while the North Korean government is strictly regulating private drug traffics, two women who were arrested for drug traffics are planed to be executed in Uiju.
By the middle of March, the women who trafficked in drugs so-called ‘Ice’(a kind of Philopon) were caught by a undercover investigation of a county police office in Uiju of North Pyeongan province. They were known to be intermediary traffickers who secretly bought drugs from drug manufacturers and sold to North Koreans.
This source sent us the citation of a police officer that while a house search being undertaken, one woman was found to have 100 million won of North Korea(35,000 dollars) and the other to have 1,600,000 dollars.
It is known that these women are now under investigation, and afterward they would be executed. The source analyzed that through the investigation into the women arrested for drug traffics, the North Korea government would also pursue an investigation into associated organizations or possible traffics with Chinese people.
It is known that kinds of Philopon, called argots ‘Ice’ or ‘bullet’ and stimulants called ‘Denda’ or ‘Doridori’ so Rapidly prevailed all over North Korea that tens of thousands of addicts already happened.
Most of the drugs the North Korean government manufactured were supposed to center on overseas market. Yet, since over the last few years the drug crack-down was stricter, some of the drugs have been flowed in North Korea, and as a result of it, recently North Korean addicts are sharply increasing.
Last January, the North Korean government announced a statement saying that, ‘illegal drug traffickers would be executed’. Also, March 17th, it was informed that in Chongjin open execution was really performed.
The reason why the North Korean government strongly responded to drug traffics once again is analyzed to be that it is a strategy to inform to international society that drug manufactures and traffics are a matter of not the ‘North Korean regime’, but individuals. It is because the U.S and international society bitterly criticized illegal criminals of North Korea such as counterfeit money and drug manufactures.
Meanwhile, it was known that 30 Christians were exposed to the National Security Agency during the gathering that underground church Christians formed in Uiju, Shinuiju, Yeungchun, Yeomju of North Pyongan province.
They were known to used to say ‘our society would be collapsed soon’, ‘if North Korea does not perform reformation and liberalization, famine would come to us and we would die of starvation again’ within the ‘religious gathering’ that they attended.
The source views most of them to be executed or taken to political prisons because they spread Christianity and formed an anti-Kim Jong Il gathering’.
