North executes lesbians for being influenced by capitalism
koreatimes.co.kr, 29/9/2011
It has been reported that North Korea executed homosexuals, believing that they are influenced by capitalism.
“The North government publicly executed two lesbians for being tinged with capitalism not for demoralization,” Free North Korea Radio (http://www.fnkradio.com/) reported on Wednesday.
According to the broadcast, the Korean and Japanese women were caught after it was found they had sexual relationships in their house in Cheongjin, North Hamgyeong Province. “They were badly influenced by capitalism from Japan and brought corruption of public morals,” said the government.
“Seeing that gays and lesbians are not welcomed in South Korea, it is not weird not to protect their rights in the North,” “The public execution may not be a solution to stop homosexuality” and “‘Homosexuality means a crime being influenced by capitalism’ what a fantastic name!” were among comments from netizens.


Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons in North Korea may or may not face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. As one of the most secretive and reclusive states in the world little is known for certain about the experiences of LGBT persons in North Korea. Though there does not seem to be any specific legislation against homosexuality, the subject is believed to be highly taboo within the country.
It is difficult to definitively know what the legal status is for LGBT North Koreans.Voice of America's Korean Service noted that homosexuality is a forbidden topic to discuss in the nation. (en.wikipedia.org)
