Fresh reports from North Korea say that leader Kim Jong Un just had his uncle Jang Song Thaek, formerly described as his right hand, executed for acts of national treason. Thaek stood before a special military tribunal and was found guilty of all charges brought against him.

The news comes from NKNews, which describes Thaek as “worse than a dog” and the vilest of human beings for rewarding trust, paternal love and benevolence with a several attempts to bring down the rightful leader and to sabotage his “admirable” efforts to further an entire people.

He also led a “depraved” life which had been corrupted by capitalist ideas and the capitalist way of life, and was a complete “scum” with no sense of morals whatsoever.

According to the aforementioned publication, the traitor stood trial on December 12, with reports in the media saying that he’s already been executed.

“The accused Jang brought together undesirable forces and formed a faction as the boss of a modern day factional group for a long time and thus committed such hideous crime as attempting to overthrow the state by all sorts of intrigues and despicable methods with a wild ambition to grab the supreme power of our party and state,” NKNews says.

“The accused is a traitor to the nation for all ages who perpetrated anti-party, counter-revolutionary factional acts in a bid to overthrow the leadership of our party and state and the socialist system,” it adds.

The “traitor” was executed and the evil eradicated, the report further mentions, but some of the damage he’s already caused is irreparable.

“Jang did serious harm to the youth movement in our country, being part of the group of renegades and traitors in the field of youth work bribed by enemies. Even after they were disclosed and purged by the resolute measure of the party, he patronized those cat's paws and let them hold important posts of the party and state,” says the publication.

In August this year, Kim Jong Un had one of his former girlfriends, pop star Hyon Song-wol, executed by firing squad together with 11 other artists after allegedly breaking the law by filming themselves in compromising situations and then selling the footage for wider distribution.
