Now they’ll be sorry: North Korea may sentence people who didn't adequately mourn the late Kim Jong Il to six months of hard labor, a South Korean news site says.
North Koreans who didn't attend collective mourning sessions for the Dear Leader — or who attended but seemed insincere — are being subjected to at least six months in forced labor camps, an unnamed source from North Hamkyung Province told DailyNK.com on Wednesday.
The Seoul-based website is run by critics of the North Korean government and typically files reports based on anonymous sources within the tightly controlled north.
North Korea's state news agency reported this week that magpies and bears were observed mourning Kim Jong Il, who died Dec. 17 and was succeeded by his son Kim Jong Un.
On Dec. 23, "workers of the Taehung Youth Hero Mine saw three bears on a road when they were coming back from a mourning site after expressing deep condolences over the demise of leader Kim Jong Il," the news agency's English-language website stated. "The bears, believed to be a mother and cubs, were staying on the road, crying woefully."
