North Korea executed six-month pregnant woman for pointing at portrait of nation's founder

North Korea has been accused of committing horrific human rights violations, including the state execution of a six-month pregnant woman who was filmed pointing at the portrait of Kim Il-sung, the founder of the pariah state, while dancing in her home. In a damning and extensive South Korean report, publicised for the first time, Kim Jong-un was criticised for overseeing the execution of homosexuals, religious persons and those who tried to flee the country, as well as attempting to conduct hysterectomies on women carrying the dwarfism gene and committing mass eugenics.

Horrifying testimony detailed the violent lengths to which the North Korean regime would go to push and protect its agenda.

One heavily pregnant woman was killed after a widely-circulated video showed her pointing at a portrait of the late Kim Il-sung while dancing in her home.

More disturbing testimony revealed that six teenagers, aged 16 and 17, were executed by shooting.

They were said to have been charged over watching video footage originating from South Korea and smoking opium at a stadium in the city of Wonsan, Kangwon Province.

Additionally, human experiments were conducted where its subjects were reported to have secretly been fed sleeping pills and forcibly taken to a facility called Hospital 83.

Officials at the Ministry of Social Security allegedly blackmailed families into letting their relatives become human test subjects under the threat of sending them to prison camps.

The regime also forced nurses to write up “a list of dwarfs” and conducted hysterectomies on a woman with dwarfism in an exercise of eugenics. Disabled people, particularly those with dwarfism, were deprived of their human rights and had medical procedures conducted on them against their will.

Rampant state-led rights abuses were said to have taken place in communities, prison camps and elsewhere, including public executions, torture and arbitrary arrests.

Women in detention were especially subjected to inhumane conditions including torture, forced labour, sexual violence and starvation.

Seoul began compiling yearly reports on Pyongyang’s alleged human rights abuses in 2018 following the enactment of the North Korean Human Rights Acts in 2016.

While the Unification Ministry is required by law to make an annual assessment of the North’s human rights situation, this year marks the first time the report has been made public.

The country’s current president, Yoon Suk Yeol, expressed his administration’s desire to “fully expose” their northern neighbour’s “gruesome human rights violations”.

President Yoon said the report’s publication should better inform the international community of what is going on in the North. He added that the rogue state deserves “not a single penny” of economic aid while it pursues its nuclear ambitions.
