North Korea Executes Man For Violating COVID-19 Quarantine

North Korea does not play about its Coronavirus quarantine rules, and a man was recently executed by a firing squad for violating the strict rules.

The executed man was accused of smuggling goods across the Chinese border with his Chinese business partners. His death was to scare others into compliance.

According to the NY POST, North Korea claims it has not had one case of Covid-19, yet, but, Kim Jong-un’s totalitarian regime has adopted a very strict lockdown rule and troops are ordered to shoot trespassers at the Chinese border.

“Since the end of November, the Central Committee [of the Korean Workers’ Party] have ratcheted up the existing emergency quarantine measures to ‘ultra-high-level’ emergency quarantine measures,” a source said. “The public execution happened because the victim was charged with violating quarantine right before the ultra-high-level emergency measures took effect around November 20th. A man in his 50s who tried to smuggle with Chinese business partners was shot as an example on November 28th.”

 

Apparently, citizens are becoming very afraid of these harsh measures and the notion that anybody could be executed on-site.

“While guarding the border seamlessly from the ground, in the air, and at sea, authorities ordered soldiers to shoot anyone approaching the border unconditionally, regardless of who the person is or their reason for being in the area. It is an absolute threat to the border area residents,” said a second source. “The Central Committee’s order to sound the alarm means we are to warn the people that those who violate the rules will be executed with a firing squad. Even during the Arduous March in the 1990s, when mass defections continued, the government did not threaten the residents of the border area like this.”
