It has been revealed that North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-Un, sentenced his uncle to be eaten alive by a pack of 120 wild dogs as a punishment for treachery.

According to new details emerging from China, his 67-year-old uncle, Jang Song-Thaek, along with 5 close aides, was stripped naked and thrown into a cage of hounds which have been starved for 3 days.

A report in a Chinese newspaper, Wen Wei Po, disclosed that the hungry animals spent over an hour mauling the group in a punishment called ‘quan jue’ or execution by dogs.

According to a report by Daily Mail:

The tyranical leader of the communist state had accused his uncle – once seen as North Korea’s second most powerful man – of treason and corruption and described him as ‘scum’ and ‘factionalist filth’ during his recent New Year message.

Unlike previous executions of political prisoners, which were carried out by firing squads with machine guns, this extraordinary sentence seems to have been specially reserved for the most hated in North Korean society. 

The report in the Chinese language newspaper said the entire process was supervised by the supreme leader in North Korea, along with 300 senior officials – a clear warning against anyone challenging Kim’s leadership. 

The fact details of the barbaric punishment emerged in a newspaper, viewed as Beijing Government’s official mouthpiece, in Hong Kong, has been seen as another signal of China’s authorities losing patience with its wayward neighbour, according to The Straits Times.

Kim Jong-Un spoke of the execution of his 67-year-old uncle during his New Year address telling the country ‘our party took resolute action to remove…scum elements within the party last year.’

The 30-year-old leader appeared on state television for the speech and analysts say the words reflect his feelings towards aides of his uncle, Jang Song-Thaek, and other family members who are believed to have been sent to labour camps.

‘Our party’s timely, accurate decision to purge the anti-party, anti-revolutionary elements helped greatly cement solidarity within our party,’ said Kim, adding that ‘factionalist filth’ had been ‘eliminated.’

His statement on state tv was the first time he had publicly criticised his uncle, who was executed on December 12 after he was accused of treason, corruption, following the ways of the hated West, and being a womaniser.

In its announcement of the sentence, the North Korean regime described Jang as ‘despicable human scum’, who was ‘worse than a dog’.

Furthermore, he ‘perpetrated thrice-cursed acts of treachery in betrayal of such profound trust and warmest paternal love shown by the Party and the leader for him’.

His supposed crimes against the regime included having ‘improper relations with several women’ and having ‘wined and dined at back parlours of deluxe restaurants’.

In addition, Jang was said to have ‘squandered foreign currency at casinos while he was receiving medical treatment in a foreign country under the care of the party’.

Worst of all perhaps, in the twisted logic of this supposed workers’ paradise, was that Jang was guilty of ‘such factional acts as dreaming different dreams’.

Although Jang had played a major role in helping the inexperienced Kim after the younger man had taken power following the death of his father, Kim Jong-Il in December 2011, the new leader is believed to have felt threatened by Jang’s power.

Observers in neighbouring South Korea agree that Kim has been running a ‘reign of terror’ in carrying out a ‘massive purge’ to consolidate his grip.

 Kim also used his New Year message to warn that the Korean peninsula would be engulfed by a ‘massive nuclear disaster’ if war broke out there again – a reference to the Korean war of the early 1950s when South Korea, supported by the United Nations, fought with North Korea which was at one time supported by China and the Soviet Union.

‘If the war breaks out again in this land, it will bring about a massive nuclear disaster and the US will never be safe,’ he warned.

Before issuing his New Year message, Kim warmly wrapped in a thick coat and a bearskin hat, visited his pet project, the Masik Pass Ski Resort, lauded by state media as having been completed at ‘lightning speed’.

Kim took a test ride on a ski lift, rising up over the project that he said during an earlier visit was ‘at the centre of the world’s attention’.
