[imText1]According to a few well-informed sources,19 April the North Korean government started extensively cracking down on drugs and cellular Phones by dispatching a comprehensive censor group on a 10,000 scale to development cities around Shinuiju and the Yalu River.<\/p>\n
The source said that, “To correct such slack discipline problems as drug trafficking, anti-government statements, and an accident with an outflow of the government information to the outside, the biggest group was dispatched and under activity”, adding, “It led to strengthening the crack-down on cellular phones and because of it, now it is impossible to directly connect with North Koreans staying in North Korea”.<\/p>\n
Another source said that, “A large-scale group of around 10,000 came in the development areas”, and “Recently many harmful events have happened and this would be the government’s purpose to establish the base of controlling North Koreans before the Shinuiju development launches”. <\/p>\n
\u2018Drug trafficking incidence\u2019 is that recently 2 women who lived in Uiju of North Pyongan province and concealed a large amount of dollars earned by drug, counterfeit dollars and scrap iron smuggling were arrested. It was known that the two women were assured to be executed to death, and now only the decision about whether they would be openly or in a chamber executed remained. Besides that, late March 3 Chinese-North Koreans living in North Korea were caught in the process of carrying thousands of drugs called \u2018Yautouwan\u2019 to China by a ship. \u2018Yautouwan\u2019 is similar to hallucinogenic agents like \u2018Extacy\u2019 and \u201cDoridori\u2019 called psychotropic drugs in South Korea. <\/p>\n
\u2018Anti-government statement\u2019 is that a youth who lived in Shinuiju and criticized the North Korean government was taken to a prison. The reason was that he, who had an experience in defecting, compared China that was being developed by reformation and liberalization with North Korea that was closed. At the time when he tried to defect, he was known to participate in a church a few times. Because of it, this incidence was mistakenly informed as an \u2018incidence of underground Christians in North Korea\u2019. Also, early April, a North Korean living in Yongcheon district was caught on the spot in the process of being on the phone with a relative in South Korea. <\/p>\n

However, in the case of comprehensive problems proposed, a \u2018comprehensive group is arranged as well.
