NORTH KOREA. TWO GUARDS TO BE EXECUTED FOR ASSISTING DEFECTORS

February 1, 2007: an officer and a sergeant from the border guard patrol in North Korea have been sentenced to execution for receiving money to assist defectors, a North Korean source alerted.
The Military Security Control Centre of the People's Army conducts indoor executions, which involves placing suspects on public trials in the form of a "comrade trial" and swiftly executes them.
The source said the execution was set for mid-January but was postponed due to the dictator’s birthday on February 16.  (Sources: The Daily NK, 05/02/2007)
