North Korea has announced they have executed Jang Song Thaek, the uncle of leader Kim Jong Un after his disloyalty proved.
A special military tribunal pronounced Jang Song Thaek, one of the most powerful leaders in North Korea, a guilty of treason. He was accused of criminal acts including misusing state finance, womanising and alcohol abuse.
“The accused Jang brought together undesirable forces and formed a faction as the boss of a modern day factional group for a long time and thus committed such hideous crime as attempting to overthrow the state,” the North’s official KCNA news agency said.
“From long ago, Jang had a dirty political ambition. He dared not raise his head when Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il were alive. He began revealing his true colors, thinking that it was just the time for him to realize his wild ambition in the period of historic turn when the generation of the revolution was replaced,” KCNA said.
