North Korean army minister executed with a mortar round. Welcome to the kinder, gentler North Korea

Even though some have said that the new North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un would be less harsh than his father, it hasn’t entirely played out that way. When the younger Kim came into office, in order to consolidate his power, he had quite a few high ranking officials executed, including one poor bastard who was executed by mortar round so that not a scrap of his body would be left.
Kim Chol, vice minister of the army, was taken into custody earlier this year on the orders of Kim Jong-un, who assumed the leadership after the death of his father in December.
On the orders of Kim Jong-un to leave “no trace of him behind, down to his hair,” according to South Korean media, Kim Chol was forced to stand on a spot that had been zeroed in for a mortar round and “obliterated.”
The execution of Kim Chol is just one example of a purge of members of the North Korean military or party who threatened the fledgling regime of Kim Jong-un. So far this year, 14 senior officials have fallen victim to the purges, according to intelligence data provided to Yoon Sang-hyun, a member of the South Korean Foreign Affairs, Trade and Unification Committee.

That takes the concept and definition of “Unperson” to extremes. Not quite to the extreme of “RetGone“…but close.
