North Korea expands list of crimes punishable by death


 The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, popularly known as North Korea, is expanding its list of crimes punishable by death, according to reports.

 

According to Fox News, citing Yonhap News Agency, Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un’s regime expanded the list of offenses warranting the death penalty from 11 to 16 via revisions of criminal law.

 

The report listed new offenses warranting execution as a punishment to include: anti-state propaganda and agitation acts, illegal manufacturing, and the illicit use of weapons are included in the new codes.

 

Other “reactionary” behavior that warrants punishment reportedly includes the wearing of outside fashion such as white wedding dresses, blue jeans or sunglasses.

 

According to the report, outside slang terms from South Korea are also allegedly banned in written communications.

 

Outside the death penalty, other drastic punishments for behavior deemed anti-social include prison camps and forced re-education.

 

The country’s 14th Supreme People’s Assembly was reported to have amended the national constitution last year to enshrine nuclear weaponization as a core principle.
