Jakarta –
A North Korean (North Korean) spy was sentenced to death. This penalty was given for daring to googling or looking for and reading information about their leader, Kim Jong Unthe internet.
The spy is a member of Bureau 10 in North Korea’s intelligence agency. He will face execution by Pyongyang’s firing squad.
Reported by Metro.co.uk, Tuesday (14/3/2023), agents of Bureau 10 are known to have access to the internet. They are also tasked with monitoring internal and external communications in the isolated country.
Internet access is tightly controlled in North Korea, which is known to be isolated from the outside world and treats its leader as a semi-religious cult personality. Even high-level intelligence officials cannot access the internet without obtaining permission first.
The Bureau’s 10th department is even said to have allowed its agents to turn off recording devices during their searches. However, some policies are said to have changed after a new bureau chief took office.
“Departments of Bureau 10 gained access to the internet, which allowed agents to turn off their search terms and browse the web as much as they wanted without any problems,” sources quoted by Daily NK said.
“But after the new bureau chief took over, even this previously routine issue turned into a major incident,” the sources added.
