North Korean authorities announced last year that anyone in possession of South Korean media or art would face up to 15 tears in prison

North Korean authorities allegedly executed two minors for the crime of watching and distributing South Korean movies, according to a Friday report.

Sources who witnessed the alleged execution in October told Radio Free Asia the teens were aged 16 and 17.

A resident told the broadcaster's Korean service they were told that "those who watch or distribute South Korean movies and dramas, and those who disrupt social order by murdering other people, will not be forgiven and will be sentenced to the maximum penalty-death."

Residents in Hyesan, where the executions allegedly took place, gathered in groups to watch authorities put the teens in front of the public, sentence them to death, and shoot them, the source said.

Authorities had reportedly warned weeks before the execution that those who distributed foreign media would face harsh punishments.

A human rights group reported last year that North Korea has executed at least seven people in the past decade for watching or distributing K-pop videos.

They were only 16 and 17 years old. North Korea executed them for enjoying South Korean music and movies.

And North Korea sentenced other teens to prison for the same "crime."

Tell minors “No electronics or internet.”
They persist incessantly.
Shoot ‘em!

The Death Penalty for: Jaywalking, littering, or murder.

Seems fair and proportionate!

Par for the course in sunny North Korea!

Dont be hating on NK, look on the bright side, N. Korea isnt all bad... no one is pooping on the sidewalk, your store front, letting their dog poop on your lawn, or camping out in the local parks. ( the dogs have all been eaten and the homeless starve quickly). IMSO... Maybe the U.S. should adopt some of these quick solutions to the homeless problem.

Before you flame me,give me your cheap solution the homelessness.

" nobody deserves to die " is offensive and shows a low IQ because everybody has to go sometime, some people - do to ignorance, thievery, or anti- social behavior- chose to leave the show early.

It was K pop so there is some reasoning there

[Hieronymus]

Who am I to judge?

If the Pope hasn’t condemned you, who am I to condemn you.

Let he who is without sin have his fill of Kim (Chi).

In turn, he who is without Kim can worry less about “sin”.

This is why we have a Constitution with a Bill of Rights.

would face up to 15 tears in prison

They're probably crying more than 15 tears while in prison. 8~)

This is what happens when you let Democrats dis-arm you.

Would you have ever thought that we would be where we are now in this country

Proves it can only get worse

[MarMema]

Allegedly.

[joma89]

This is the power the democrat party wants. They want to execute you and I for any stupid reason they think of.

[Fresh Wind]

This can never happen here, right?

The ones who were shot were the lucky ones - the ones going to prison not so much...
