Ah, the happy, joyful times in collectivist countries where the government always knows best...

North Korea ups public executions against cell phone users

SEOUL, South Korea: North Korea has increased its public executions against cell phone users and those who circulate outside information in the communist country, a South Korean government think tank said Thursday.

The phenomenon of executions of those who "circulate South Korean leaflets and sell videos and use cell phones are on the rise," the South's government-affiliated Korea Institute for National Unification think tank said in a white paper on the North's human rights conditions. No exact figures were given.

North Koreans are officially banned from communicating with the outside world but some of them listen to foreign news and use cell phones through Chinese communication networks, according to North Korean defectors in South Korea. The use of cell phones in North Korea is banned though some are smuggled into the North by Chinese who have links with South Koreans.

The North has been struggling to prevent outside information from seeping into the country and believes the influx of information could possibly lead to the overthrow of the reclusive regime.

"The North carries out public executions regularly to maintain social order by creating an atmosphere of fear," said the institute.

Can you hear me now? BOOM

In many Islamic lands they have somewhat similar barbaric practices: in the Palestinian terror-itories a women (not a man, however) will sometimes get killed in an Honor Killing for talking on a cell phone, or for laughing out loud in public with a man who is not her husband.

Also, in Pakistan, arguably the most technologically advanced Muslim country ever (the only Muslim country to create nuclear weapons) they ban free speech, such as banning Robert Spencer's great book "The Truth About Mohammad, Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion".

These regimes are VERY AFRAID of one thing getting out....THE TRUTH.

Comments?

Well.....

This could solve the problem of those morons who cut me off in traffic because they are too busy talking on their cell phones.




Im just kidding btw.

Both wrong.. I've been watching FoxNews and so I am now convinced that everything is President Rosie O'Donnell's fault.

This thread is not about 'Islamic lands' or your imaginings about life in Palestine.

'Tis about NK and a truly repressive regime with WMD`s.

S-S

I wouldn`t say it`s Bush's fault but Bush sure did underline for them the importance of a credible military deterence so talking into dismantling their artillery or nuke program will be that much harder, I`d think.
