Seoul: Two children were sentenced to 12 years in North Korea for watching South Korean movies and videos. Two 16-year-old children were sentenced to 12 years of hard labour. The South and North Development (SAND) Institute released a video of the public punishment of children in Pyongyang.
For more than three months, South Korean movies and music videos have been punished for watching and spreading, according to reports. A new law was introduced in North Korea in 2020 to ban the enjoyment of these types of things from South Korea and punish them severely if caught.
The children were tried while around 1000 students watched. The footage of two children holding hands has emerged. But as all the students are wearing masks, it is indicated that these scenes were filmed during the Covid. The footage was released by the BBC. According to the news agency Archyde.com, the authenticity of this might not be confirmed. Choi Kyong-hui, president of SAND and a doctor of political science at the University of Tokyo, says that this type of severe punishment is a warning to the people of North Korea. She said that the South Korean way of life is prevalent in North Korea.
