A North Korean student will be executed for sharing the hit Netflix show with their classmates

A North Korean student will be executed by firing squad after they reportedly brought a copy of the hit show into the country.

A North Korean student who smuggled copies of Squid Game into the country and sold them will reportedly be executed by firing squad.

North Korean authorities caught seven high school students watching the violent drama after sharing the show via USB flash drives.

Radio Free Asia reported a student who bought a drive from the smuggler received a life sentence after his parents reportedly paid authorities $US3000 ($A4170), while the six others who watched the show have been sentenced to five years of hard labor.

The punishment was extended to the students’ school where teachers and school administrators were fired and faced banishment to work in remote mines.

Local sources said the smuggler brought a copy of the Netflix show back from China before selling versions of it. RFA reported his death sentence would be carried out by the firing squad.

“This all started last week when a high school student secretly bought a USB flash drive containing the South Korean drama Squid Game and watched it with one of his best friends in class,” a law enforcement source in North Hamgyong province told RFA’s Korean Service on Monday.

“The friend told several other students, who became interested, and they shared the flash drive with them. They were caught by the censors in 109 Sangmu, who had received a tip-off,” said the source, referring to the government strike force that specialises in catching illegal video watchers.

The arrest of the teenagers marks the first time the government applied a newly passed law called the ‘elimination of reactionary thought and culture’ with people aged under 18.

The law carries a maximum penalty of death for watching, keeping, or distributing media from capitalist countries.

Following the students‘ arrest, authorities have begun searching for more memory storage devices that contain any foreign media in the region.

“The residents are all trembling in fear because they will be mercilessly punished for buying or selling memory storage devices, no matter how small,” a North Hamgyong resident told RFA.

“But regardless of how strict the government’s crackdown seems to be, rumours are circulating that among the seven arrested students, one with rich parents was able to avoid punishment because they bribed the authorities with $US3000 ($A4170).

“Residents are complaining that the world is unfair because if parents have money and power even their children who are sentenced to death can be released.”

Gotta love these commies.

Coming soon to a socialist neighborhood near you.

Ripe for a rebellion . Those students got a very small taste of freedom and this will germinate . Its somewhat similar to American students and the taste of never paying the bills they incur while listening to Marxist professors who expose that life is good when you have no responsibility of your actions .

theyd be fools to rebel. the US would stoke their schlongs, then pull the rug from under them once they all showed themselves. total bloodbath.

Whoa. Took the words right straight out of my mouth.

More like, coming to America under a Hidin' Biden administration!

EXCEPT, the biden regime will not put anyone in jail or execute them for sharing violent games especially if they're kids and especially if they lean left.

Look on the bright side! The tax payers won't have to support another political prisoner, saving money! Someone who is dead cannot tie up the courts with appeals either. Then there are court fees, attorney fees, judges salaries, etc. It will save a ton of money all around! This same policy will be implemented in the U.S. if Democrats have anything to say about it, starting with anyone who supports President Trump, his policies, truth about the Wuhan virus, truth about the Wuhan lab, truth about the "vaccine" or Conservatism!

I'ld like to think so.

This law is totally out of 1984, if not worse.

.......... a newly passed law called the ‘elimination of reactionary thought and culture’ with people aged under 18. .........
