From the Daily NK:
A public struggle session was held earlier this month in Mundok county, South Pyongan province, targeting a person caught with South Korean video material.
“A farm worker in his 50s at Oryong Farm in Mundok county was arrested during an Aug. 2 raid of his home for possessing South Korean video material,” a Daily NK source in South Pyongan province said recently. “They held a roughly two-hour public struggle session in front of all the farm workers in the yard outside the farm’s management committee office.”
The farm worker was immediately arrested when the raid turned up a storage device containing South Korean films and music. He was then handed over to local police….
Later, county police organized a public struggle session at the farm before the entire workforce.
A police official revealed the farm worker’s actions and declared, “South Korea isn’t just a foreign country, but an enemy trying to plunder our nation. The cultural materials they’re trying to spread are ideological poison, and this reactionary act of poisoning even one’s own children can never be tolerated.”
The farm workers then took turns condemning their colleague. Throughout the entire struggle session, the farm worker just stood with his head down and remained silent.
Ring any bells?
