At last someone has silenced one of those annoying bible thumpers.

Let’s hope the rotten part will be taken out there in due time. The whole family into prison,including kids, even if the woman would have committed a crime against North Korea’s rulers .. .. it’s absurd. Let’s hope the death of her and many others was not for nothing, did not just serve the authorities’ main goal regarding the people. Putting your own childeren at risk is a high price for anything I’d say. Unless there are no good options left anymore.

I can’t help but wonder if she was executed for spying, rather than distributing Bibles. Perhaps a bit of Christian spin has been put on the story here?

North Korea is the only time you’ll hear Christopher Hitchens say that someone who has died is now in a better place. And we know he’s not talking about an afterlife.

This must be just one example of the kind of outrageous things taking place in that nightmare country that we never hear about. I can only hope that the people revolt at some point. They make her family pay for her “crime” to keep everyone else in line. Atrocious.

No matter what your religious beliefs (or lack thereof) are, things like this are just terrible. There is something inherently wrong with these kinds of actions.

i would place the blame more on totalitarian dictatorship than communism, being a communist at heart myself (whilst knowing that it would never work, i still find the idea of the equality of everyone as admirable). This sort of thing would happen in a fascist state aswell, which are more openly totalitarian than north korea.

enough of that speak.

I still get angry at what i hear about north korea, no matter how many things i read, and i think the only way it could change peacefully would be to get the internet to the north koreans, which i doubt would ever happen, so i’m truely worried about ordinary north koreans safety because of the actions of a few power hungry scared men.
