THINK TANK UNVEILS N. KOREAN COURT RULING ORDERING PUBLIC EXECUTION

South Korean state-run think tank the Korea Institute for National Unification (KINU) unveiled a North Korean court ruling sentencing a man to public execution. The Korea Institute for National Unification (KINU) said it included images of the document in a 20-minute-long DVD it recently produced to cover North Korea's serious human rights abuses. The DVD, titled "No Tears," was produced based on the eyewitness accounts of North Korean defectors. In the ruling, dated September 2010, North Korea's top court sentenced a 40-year-old man to public execution on charges of stealing six cows, or deliberate damage to national wealth. It is the first time such a document has been released in South Korea.
