Kim Jong Un's uncle was reportedly given one of the most brutal death
sentences imaginable last month.
According to NBC
News,<http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/01/03/22156917-kim-jong-uns-executed-uncle-was-eaten-alive-by-120-hungry-dogs-report>
which
cited a report in a Chinese newspaper, Jang Song Thaek and five of his
closest aides were stripped of their clothes, tossed in a cage and eaten
alive by a pack of 120 hungry dogs. The dogs had reportedly been starved
for five days.
Jang was considered to be the young North Korean leader's second-in-command.
The details of the execution were published in a newspaper that serves as
an organ of China's Communist Party, but NBC could not independently
confirm the report.
The Straits Times,<http://www.straitstimes.com/the-big-story/asia-report/china/story/jangs-execution-bodes-ill-china-20131224>
a
Singapore-based news outlet, also reported on the details of the execution.
Jang was accused of treason and sentenced to death last
month,<http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/north-korea-kim-jong-un-s-uncle-executed-as-traitor>
but
North Korea provided very few details at the time about his alleged
transgressions and the method of execution.
According to the Straits Times, Jang's alleged treason stemmed from his
close ties with Beijing and that the execution has sparked tension between
Kim and the Chinese government.
