North Korea reportedly executed some 80 people accused of crimes such as watching South Korean television. None of the executions took place in the capital Pyongyang, where the regime fosters the most loyal and privileged class of citizens. It was in a stadium in the east where some 10000 people had to watch the victims being shot. The move is seen as an effort to intimidate people living in an area that is scheduled to open up for foreign investment - the regime wants to keep its people in line when they live under slightly more liberal circumstances.
