...there have been reports of the North Korea People starting to deface and rip up of the new DPRK currency notes with the image of deceased leader Kim Il Sung's photo on them;

Isn't this punishable by death normally in NK?

Yes. For doing such, you would be automatically an "enemy of the state".

You will either be executed, or sent to a North Korean labor camp, probably along with most of your family who had nothing to do with such a currency defacement incident.

Both punishments result in death. One quickly (hopefully) and one very slow and painful and grieviously horrible.

I swear when international journalists walk through those DPRK political prison camps when they are finally opened to the world, and hear the stories, and see the human bones and the crematoriums (confirmed by satellite photos), what are those libs going to say? It is going to be like Edward R. Murrow walking through Buchenwald. I guess we just needed to reason with them a little more over these past 60 years. /sarc
