North Korea , 80 people dead , some for owning a Bible The executions took place on 3 November, but the news has been spread by the press only South Korea on Sunday 12/11/2013 PRINT Vatican Radio Almost eighty death sentences have been executed in North Korea, some of them for possessing a Bible. The executions took place on 3 November, but the news has been spread by the press only South Korea on Sunday . The sentences would have made publicly in view also of some children . If the news is confirmed , it would be the first large-scale executions since the young general Kim Jong-un took office , succeeding his father. On this subject interviewed Cecilia Rosella Sabelli Ideo, studious coreanista and political and diplomatic history of East Asia. At this point , at least in the last three months , Kim Jong Un has tried open up the country. Now, for example , is focusing much on tourism. This allows a greater number of people entering the country to look around. It is also encouraging economic development , helped massively by China. While the government develops these actions, the Commission of Inquiry into the UN on human rights in North Korea has denounced widespread and grave violations . What is a situation? It is a good that has instituted a Commission for Human Rights , which is independent and has no judiciary. Indeed , violations of human rights stem from the testimony of many nordcoreanos taking refuge in the south: are almost 27,000 . Some of this has left the country for a better life , while a number less has left the country for political issues and ideological . But this is a minority. Australian Judge Kirby , who chairs the three-member Commission has heard many testimonials and has been shocked with what I heard . He had asked North Korea personally to enter and verify the existence of these gulag , spoken of for years and have been identified by satellite , but has received no permission to check these violations , so that at the end said : I have the version I give the refugees who have been in the concentration camps , but I have no evidence against North Korea . It is clear that these fields exist, because there are such a number of testimonies crossed it is not possible to think otherwise , but it would take North Korea to open the doors I fear that when the doors open , will prove their existence and also opens Pandoras box.
