The blurry film - apparently from a hidden camera - appeared to show one man being shot in Yuson town near the border with China on March 2, 2005. The condemned faced the firing squad shortly after a brief trial in which a judge found him guilty of trying to cross into China and smuggle others there.

Three gunmen each fired one shot at the prisoner who was tied to a pole.

Another female defendent was sentenced to10 years of labor camp.

The video was carried out of North Korea by several defectors. It was filmed by unnamed residents of the Stalinist state.

It decided to publicize the tape after determining witness accounts of the executions matched the images captured on film, the statement said.

A Seoul-based group called the Commission to Help North Korean Refugees said last month that North Korea had executed 70 defectors who were captured in China and sent home to discourage its citizens from fleeing the country.

The number of people fleeing North Korea decreased drastically following the executions, the group said.

A trickle of defectors from the communist North has swelled into a steady flow in recent years as more attempt to flee hunger and political repression in their homeland. Nearly 1,900 North Koreans defected to the South last year, an increase of almost 50 percent from the year before.

More than 100,000 North Koreans are living or hiding in China, the Commission to Help North Korean Refugees has estimated.

  • They have cameras

  • @CCCPSovietSoldier Its probably a korean infiltrator, that works for any other country, and has been giving a mini-camera, I guess thats why the lense quality isnt that good

  • @carlobari60 Yes, because the United States is saintly to the poor.

  • First of all.

    In North Korea there is NO video cameras !

    People cannot afford them , plus this quality is so bad that the camera used probably is a old model which would be impossible to hide !

    Fake ...

  • @UberWolf9 i thought his son is in charge now?

  • this execution was most certainly real!!! as for the recent recipient of the throne over there, no worries, our spooks had him in pocket a long time ago..

  • @BoM45 I'm from the Uk actually :P

    I just hope to Christ this shit stops but the brother of Kim Jong il is kinda in charge. I dunno, wish this regime would just fuck off soon.

  • Don't believe a word of what I see and heard in this video. If this is an old video camera producing very low quality, then it'd be too big to be hidden in the first row of spectators. If it's a camera small enough to be concealed, then the image should be MUCH better.

    FAKE!!!

  • Its not common knowledge that people are killed and tortured to death EVERY DAy in North Korea. It is the most oppressive regime on the face of the earth. Most people strave without food . Only the military is fed and the dictators. Even the propaganda media declares out right hatred for America while we still feed them in exchange for broken promises they will stop creating nuclear weapons. We will never fight them because their military is millions strong. Check out DPRK news on line
