North Korea is apparently intensifying its \u201cfear politics\u201d based on a law to eradicate \u201creactionary thought and culture.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a Daily NK source in South Pyongan Province on Friday, a young woman in her 20s identified as \u201cA,\u201d along with her boyfriend \u201cB,\u201d were publicly shot in Munhwa-dong, Pyongsong, in mid-January.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The woman was the daughter of the head of the political department of the South Pyongan Province branch of the Ministry of State Security (MSS). A graduate of the Pyongyang Han Tok Su University of Light Industry, she had worked in foodstuff production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently, however, she was essentially unemployed, having returned to her hometown of Pyongsong. On paper, she was employed at a production base under the provincial branch of the MSS, her father\u2019s employer. However, she was making monthly payments to avoid showing up at the office, a practice known as \u201cAug. 3 work\u201d in North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her boyfriend \u2014 reportedly the son of a laborer \u2014 was a computer technician who graduated from the automation department of a natural sciences university.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The couple apparently enjoyed South Korean food programs such as \u201cBaek Jong-won&#8217;s Alley Restaurant\u201d and \u201cHard Life Rich People,\u201d and even considered selling dishes based on what they saw in the programs.

They were also crafting a plan to engage in professional distribution activities by copying videos and printed materials from overseas, operating a photo studio with photo editing and printing equipment as a front.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, according to explanatory materials for the law to eradicate \u201creactionary thought and culture\u201d obtained by Daily NK in January of last year, Article 27 of the legislation calls for sentences of five to 15 years of correctional labor against people caught watching, listening or possessing \u201cfilms, recordings, publications, books, songs, drawings or photos from South Choson [South Korea],\u201d and life sentences of correctional labor or even death for individuals who import and distribute such materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Korean authorities judged that the couple was able to avoid registering their imported computer with the MSS and engage in illegal copying of videos because they were protected by A\u2019s father, a high-ranking cadre at the provincial branch of the MSS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A\u2019s father was originally an administrative cadre, but was promoted to the MSS based on his reputation for eliminating \u201creactionary\u201d individuals and dissidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, A was publicly executed. Though the lives of her father and other family members were spared, they were sent to a political prison camp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About 20 people accused of taking part in distributing the videos along with MSS officials were given front row seats to the execution. Immediately after the shooting, all these spectators were arrested for participating in or overlooking the illegal distribution of videos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prior to this, North Korean authorities ordered that a certain number of people from institutions such as the local <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">inminban <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(people\u2019s unit), MSS, and prosecutor\u2019s office participate in public trials.
