North Korean authorities sentenced three people involved in handling movies

North Korean authorities sentenced three people involved in handling movies smuggled from China and South Korea to death. The men were sentenced in the northern border city of Onseong as part of the communist state's crackdown on foreign influences.
The men were a local farmer, a senior communist youth group worker and a schoolteacher. The 59 year-old farmer surnamed Jeon was charged with importing "illegal adult films" from Chinese dealers and selling them, it said. Seven other accomplices were ordered to undergo re-education.
