11 executed in N Korea

-

A NORTH Korean defector says she saw 11 musicians “blown to bits” by anti-aircraft guns in a terrifying execution ordered by maniacal dictator Kim Jong-un.

Hee Yeon Lim, 26, the daughter of a high-ranking soldier from Pyongyang, fled to the South last year.

She told The Mirror of one occasion when she was pulled out of school by soldiers and forced to watch the execution of a group of musicians accused of making a pornograph­ic video.

Ms Hee Yeon said she and classmates were taken to a stadium at the Military Academy where the hooded and gagged victims were tied to the end of anti-aircraft guns in front of some 10,000 spectators.

The guns were fired one by one. She said: “The musicians just disappeare­d each time the guns were fired into them. Their bodies were blown to bits, totally destroyed, blood and bits flying everywhere.”

Afterwards, tanks ran over the pieces of the bodies.

In 2015, when her father, Colonel Wui Yeon Lim, 51, died, she and her family fled to China, and arrived in Seoul last year.
