SEOUL (Yonhap) -- A North Korean resident was publicly executed for talking to a North Korean defector living in South Korea via a Chinese cell phone, the Seoul-based Open Radio for North Korea (ORNK) reported on March 4.
The resident, identified only as Jung, was reportedly a munitions factory worker in the northeastern city of Hamhung. He was executed in late January after a Chinese cell phone was found in his home, the ORNK said, citing a source in North Korea.
