North Korea regularly performs public executions by firing squad
Beside the vocal aggression and somewhat sadism that comes out of North Korea, here is something I read on NKnet:
In North Korea, public execution, which has been infrequent due to international criticism, is happening again. In Pyongsung city, February 18, two officials from Ministry of Electric Industry were public shot to death. Their crime was shutting down electricity supply to Sungjin Steel Mill located in Kimchaek city in North Hankyong Province. At Sungjin Steel Mill, steel is rolled and sent to Kimchaek Iron Works, and then it is exported to China.
Kim Jong Il ordered the Ministry of Electric Industry, in December 2008, to redirect electricity from the steel mill to Pyongyang city. And two officials from the ministry followed the order, thus causing great damage to Sungjin Steel Mill. Sungjin Mill had been provided electricity barely enough to continue operation.
However, authorities, after hearing the reports from the Steel Mill, arrested the two officials on Feb. 18, and executed in two days.
