N Korean resistance fights regime 'worse than Japanese'
Michael Sheridan
October 23, 2006

AN underground resistance movement in North Korea, capable of smuggling out videos of executions and staging violent acts of defiance, has emerged as the Kim Jong-il regime faces international sanctions for testing a nuclear bomb.

The latest evidence of North Koreans willing to risk their lives to tell their story is a video showing the execution by firing squad of a woman convicted of murder committed in the course of stealing food last July.

Captured by a bystander with a tiny camera, it shows the victim being tied to a stake, watched by other convicts, in a field next to the Juyi River in the north.

There are sounds of people muttering in Korean, "See, that's how they blindfold them," as three executioners prepare to fire their rifles. Shouted commands are then heard.

As a ragged series of 12 shots resounds on the sound track, blurry clouds of smoke break out around the distant figure, which slumps in its bonds. The body is then wrapped in what appears to be a plastic bag for burial.

The video was broadcast by Japan's Asahi Television, which named the dead woman as Yoo Bun Hee, but gave no details of how it obtained the pictures. North Korean exiles said they believe it was authentic.

The footage provides a clue to an unexplained series of border incidents earlier this year that North Korean officials blamed on a shadowy "resistance".

In one clash, North Korean border guards confronted three men creeping at night across the frozen Tumen River from China. In the ensuing fight, the intruders stabbed several soldiers and escaped, leaving a bag containing three guns, ammunition, a video camera and a telephone.

On the same night in late January, men reportedly opened fire on a frontier post at the town of Huiryeong, causing an unknown number of casualties before escaping.

Chinese witnesses and foreign diplomats say there have been repeated outbreaks of gunfire, usually at night, along the mountainous barren borderlands.

Lim Chun Yong, a former North Korean special forces officer who has defected, claimed four or five groups of an "armed resistance" were in the area.

"The people say among themselves that the regime is worse than the Japanese colonists," he was quoted by South Korea's Dong-A Ilbo newspaper.

The constant traffic of traders and escapees along the 1400km border has eroded regime control to the point where clandestine goods and ideas now thrive in the frontier provinces.

Smuggled mobiles allow North Koreans to make calls on Chinese networks by capturing their signals at the border.

Because there are no barriers to telephoning South Korea or the US from China, they can talk to family members and enemies of the regime.

The latest video is proof that Chinese currency and DVDs are in circulation, because some witnesses to the execution had been forced to watch as punishment for possessing such things.

People smugglers and black-marketeers are rife. Chinese sources said some North Korean border guards could be bribed to turn a blind eye. ..............
