Kim Jong-un has allege executed a senior North Korean official by firing squad because he did not sit properly during a meeting.
Education
minister Kim Yong-Jin, 63, was shot dead after his 'bad sitting
posture' in parliament incurred the wrath of the North Korean dictator.
The
slouching vice premier was interrogated and found to be an
'anti-revolutionary agitator' before his execution in July, a South
Korean official said.
Another
South Korean official said the education official's poor posture was
spotted at a meeting on June 29, when Kim Jong-un was named chairman of a
new national defence department.
'Vice premier for education Kim Yong-Jin was executed,' South Korea's unification ministry spokesman Jeong Joon-hee said.
'Kim
Yong-Jin was denounced for his bad sitting posture when he was sitting
below the rostrum,' he added, referring to North Korea's parliament.
Kim Jong-un was in the government meeting and was infuriated after Kim Yong-Jin sat in his chair 'with a bad attitude'.
'The
trouble for Kim began after he was seen sitting with bad attitude during
a meeting of the People's Supreme Assembly,' the official told South
Korean newspaper JoongAng Daily.
'He
was later accused of being anti-revolutionary following a probe and a
firing squad execution was carried out in July,' he added.
Kim
Yong-chol, another North Korean official, was sent an 'ideological
re-education' farm for a month in June and July because of his
'overbearing attitude'.
Meanwhile Choe Hwi, vice director of North Korea's propaganda and agitation department, has been sent to a similar camp.
