North
Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un sentenced his uncle to be eaten alive by a
pack of 120 wild dogs in a savage punishment for treachery, it has been
claimed.
Jang
Song-Thaek, 67, along with five close aides, was stripped naked and
thrown into a cage of hounds which had been starved for three days,
according to new details emerging from China.
The
pack of animals spent more than an hour mauling the group in a
punishment called 'quan jue', or execution by dogs, a report in Chinese
newspaper Wen Wei Po said.
The
tyranical leader of the communist state had accused his uncle - once
seen as North Korea's second most powerful man - of treason and
corruption and described him as 'scum' and 'factionalist filth' during
his recent New Year message.

Unlike
previous executions of political prisoners, which were carried out by
firing squads with machine guns, this extraordinary sentence seems to
have been specially reserved for the most hated in North Korean
society.
The
report in the Chinese language newspaper said the entire process was
supervised by the supreme leader in North Korea, along with 300 senior
officials - a clear warning against anyone challenging Kim's
leadership.
Kim
Jong-Un spoke of the execution of his 67-year-old uncle during his New
Year address telling the country 'our party took resolute action to
remove...scum elements within the party last year.'
The
30-year-old leader appeared on state television for the speech and
analysts say the words reflect his feelings towards aides of his uncle,
Jang Song-Thaek, and other family members who are believed to have been
sent to labour camps.
In
its announcement of the sentence, the North Korean regime described
Jang as ‘despicable human scum’, who was ‘worse than a dog’.
Furthermore,
he ‘perpetrated thrice-cursed acts of treachery in betrayal of such
profound trust and warmest paternal love shown by the Party and the
leader for him’.
His
supposed crimes against the regime included having ‘improper relations
with several women’ and having ‘wined and dined at back parlours of
deluxe restaurants’.
In
addition, Jang was said to have ‘squandered foreign currency at casinos
while he was receiving medical treatment in a foreign country under the
care of the party’.
Worst
of all perhaps, in the twisted logic of this supposed workers’
paradise, was that Jang was guilty of ‘such factional acts as dreaming
different dreams’.
Although
Jang had played a major role in helping the inexperienced Kim after the
younger man had taken power following the death of his father, Kim
Jong-Il in December 2011, the new leader is believed to have felt
threatened by Jang's power.
