North Korea has declared to
mount war scale efforts to punish former South Korean president Park Geun-hye for
hatching a plot to assassinate Kim Jong-un, the North Korean supreme leader.
According to the state-run Korean
Central News Agency (KCNA), North Korea has declared that "at home and
abroad that it will impose death penalty on traitor Park Geun Hye and
ex-Director of the puppet Intelligence Service Ri Pyong Ho and their groups,
criminals of hideous state-sponsored terrorism who hatched and pressed for the
heinous plot to hurt the supreme leadership of the DPRK."
The KCNA release cited by KCNA
Watch, which claims to be a 'user-friendly interface for viewing NK media'
writes that all these men can never make any appeal against the sentence given
to them and they will meet "miserable dog's death any time, at any place
and by whatever methods from this moment."
North Korea has also asked South
Korea to handover Park, Ri Pyong Ho and others citing international convention
though the country itself is subject to numerous global sanctions for violating
international conventions, crushing human rights and pursuing nuclear weapons.
Park Geun-hye was fired from
the presidency in March after the country's supreme court upheld her December
2016 impeachment and is currently in jail undergoing trial for leaking state
secrets, abusing state power and various other corruption allegations including
bribery.
The joint statement released
by various North Korean ministries has called the plot hideous state-sponsored
terrorism and has warned that "North Korea will impose summary punishment
without advance notice on those who organized, took part in or pursued the
plot, under wartime law."
According to the release, the
South Korean intelligence, in collusion with the CIA, sent a group in North
Korea to eliminate Kim Jong-un using bio-chemical weapons or disguising it as
car or train accident and the whole plot was pushed forward by Park Geun-hye
but the plot failed after the group was detected and was ultimately scrapped
with Park's impeachment.
North Korea had levelled similar
allegations against South Korea and the US even the last month and the release
ends with the routine North Korean line that it will inflict an apocalypse sort
of punitive measure against its enemies, "should the U.S. and the south
Korean authorities defy this warning and challenge our resolute measure, they
will be made to pay a dear price in an irresistible physical way."
