It has been reported that North Korea executed homosexuals, believing that they are influenced by capitalism.

It has been reported that North Korea executed homosexuals, believing that they are influenced by capitalism.

“The North government publicly executed two lesbians for being tinged with capitalism not for demoralization,” Free North Korea Radio (http://www.fnkradio.com/) reported on Wednesday.

According to the broadcast, the Korean and Japanese women were caught after it was found they had sexual relationships in their house in Cheongjin, North Hamgyeong Province. “They were badly influenced by capitalism from Japan and brought corruption of public morals,” said the government.

“Seeing that gays and lesbians are not welcomed in South Korea, it is not weird not to protect their rights in the North,” “The public execution may not be a solution to stop homosexuality” and “‘Homosexuality means a crime being influenced by capitalism’ what a fantastic name!” were among comments from netizens.

北 동성연애자 공개처형..죄명은?
북한에서 동성연애를 하다 적발된 재일교포 여성들이 `자본주의 사상에 물든 죄`로 간주돼 공개처형 당한 것으로 알려졌다. 대북 단파라디오 자유북한방송은 28일 "북한 당국이 동성애를 `풍기문란죄`가 아닌 `자본주의 사상에 물든 죄`로 간주해 공개처형 했다"고 보도했다. 방송에 따르면 북한은 최근 함경북도 청진시에서 동성연애를 하다 적발된 재일 교포 여성들을 붙잡아 "이들이 집에 모여 앉아 음란한 행위를 하다 적발됐다"며 "일본에서 배워온 썩고 병든 자본주의 사상에 젖어 풍기문란한 행위를 했다"고 밝히고는 공개처형한 것으로 전해졌다. 소식을 들은 누리꾼들은 "한국에서도 환영받지 못한데 북한은 오죽하려고" "공개처형한다고 동성애가 사라질까?" "동성애=자본주의 사상에 물든 죄! 죄명 한번 죽이네!"라며 다양한 반응을 보였다.
