SEOUL, Aug. 12 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ordered the execution of the country's vice premier by shooting earlier this year, sources said Tuesday, in another sign of the leader's reign of terror.
Vice Premier Choe Yong-gon was executed in May as he had expressed discomfort against the young leader's forestation policy, according to the sources.
South Korea's state spy agency earlier said that the North Korean leader has tightened grip on his power base in a brutal way, including the execution of about 70 senior officials.
In late 2013, Kim Jong-un ordered the execution of Jang Song-thaek, the husband of Kim's aunt and once the country's second most powerful figure, on charges of treason. The North's former defense chief Hyun Yong-chol is believed to have been executed in April for his disloyalty toward Kim.
P!
Well at least it was relatively quick.
So it would appear that Vice Premier Yong-gon is now long-gon.
You would figure by now at least a couple of these people should start excusing themselves to grab a paper, cut a butt, head call, something ... and make a hasty exit.
” he had expressed discomfort against the young leader’s forestation policy,”
Serious stuff I guess
Tree bark is an essential part of the average North Korean’s diet, so forestation policy is important to Dear Leader Jr.
A gun? Not anti-aircraft artillery or starving dogs? What a refreshing change in the DPRK’s boring daily routine!! [/sarcasm]
” he had expressed discomfort against the young leader’s forestation policy,”......
Can you imagine the devastation if the American people actually expressed the same about odumbo’s policies and he had similar powers?
Send every American professor to North Korea to experience the pleasures of socialism.
Man turn into Stalin purge here in North Korea already

No bark for you!
Thanks Tiger
SOP with tyrants. Stalin, especially. The worst possible crime in the Soviet Union was to be more popular than Stalin.
Not only Choe Yong-gon is gone, it looks as if http://www.kcna.co.jp/index-e.htm is down now http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://www.kcna.co.jp
Excerpt:
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has ruthlessly executed a ‘defeatist’ terrapin farm owner after reacting furiously to the farm on a tour in May.
Following the embarrassing tour, Kim reportedly lashed out at the owner, promising ‘grave consequences’ for not producing any lobsters.
(...)
The leader visited the Taedonggang Terrapin Farm in May, where he was supposed to provide ‘field guidance’ to managers who were struggling to produce enough terrapins.
At the time of his visit, he issued a warning to managers, angered by their disrespect towards in his father in not having a room dedicated to teaching workers about his father’s greatness.
His father, Kim Jong Il visited the same terrapin farm shortly after it was built in October 2011, where he described it as proof that there word ‘impossible’ is not found in the Korean vocabulary.
