Underscoring their banishment seems aimed at maximizing the sense of fear among city residents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A propaganda video recently acquired by Daily NK contains public criticism of five offenders, including one who frequently stole personal property and another who failed to reform after several convictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video shows the five individuals being brought before a large crowd to face public criticism with the apparent goal of sending a pointed message to the North Korean public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video also includes details about the five individuals\u2019 names, ages, residences, jobs and criminal records. The individuals\u2019 crimes are then presented in detail and harshly criticized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the video, all five of the individuals are Pyongyang citizens who were ultimately banished from the city for the crimes of theft, assault, prostitution, solicitation, drug use and theft of state property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video in question may have been produced to educate Pyongyang citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In North Korea, living in Pyongyang \u2014 known as the \u201ccapital of the revolution\u201d \u2014 is thought to be a considerable privilege. Compared to other areas, the North Korean government pays extra attention to the homes and livelihoods of Pyongyang citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering that many North Koreans never get a chance to visit Pyongyang in their lives, being expelled from the privileged population in the capital and forced to live in the provinces is considered a disgrace on par with ostracism from society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By producing and distributing a video containing personal details about these offenders and their crimes and detailing their banishment from Pyongyang, the North Korean authorities were seeking to remind Pyongyang citizens about the consequences of crime.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_54430\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54430\" style=\"width: 741px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54430\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/20230321_mdh_\uacf5\uac1c\uc7ac\ud3102.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"741\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/20230321_mdh_\uacf5\uac1c\uc7ac\ud3102.jpg 741w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/20230321_mdh_\uacf5\uac1c\uc7ac\ud3102-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/20230321_mdh_\uacf5\uac1c\uc7ac\ud3102-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/20230321_mdh_\uacf5\uac1c\uc7ac\ud3102-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-54430\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A clip from the video showing North Koreans being called up to face a public criticism.

No tolerance is due to people such as these who act in concert with our foes\u2019 brazen schemes against our prudent and dignified socialist system,\u201d the video narration says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe must strive even more aggressively to stamp out all kinds of anti-socialist and non-socialist practices. We must be proactive in supporting the resolute protection of our single-minded unity and the all-out defense of political unity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The North Korean authorities have been striving to uproot all kinds of criminal behavior as part of their recent declaration of war on crime. They are particularly focused on stopping theft of personal and state property, drug use, sex crimes and the transmission of information both inside and outside of the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Koreans seem to be paying heed to these efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhile crimes are being prosecuted as stipulated in the criminal code, there have been efforts [recently] to hold criminals to a stricter standard. So people are taking note of which crimes to avoid,\u201d a reporting partner inside the country told Daily NK on Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCrime has been on the rise as living conditions have continued to worsen, especially after the border was closed because of COVID-19. The authorities keep cracking the whip, but that doesn\u2019t help reduce crime when people are struggling just to get by.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Translated by David Carruth.
