North Korean Soccer Team Detained And Scheduled For Execution After Loss To South Korea -

Kim Jong-un has reportedly had the entire North Korean soccer team jailed and awaiting their public execution after enduring a humiliating 1-0 loss to their South Korean rivals.

After the game, North Korea’s athletes were escorted to a waiting bus where they were then transferred to a maximum security North Korean prison.
This makes for the first time North Korea has faced South Korea in the Asian Games since 1978; A match that ended in a 0-0 tie. The unresolved grudge has been a dig to the country’s pride ever since. Kim’s grandfather, Kim ll-sung who was in power at the time, is quoted as saying “The Democratic People’s Republic Of Korea has been greatly shamed by this, what we perceive to be as an utter loss.”
Perhaps this event led to Kim Jong-un’s ire surrounding the recent loss, and why he is going to such great lengths to punish each of the players.
This isn’t the first time North Korea has faced charges of too harshly chastising their athletes, either. In 2010, FIFA probed North Korean officials after claims were made that their football team had been severely tortured after losing all three games of the World Cup.

While Kim has made no official mention of the executions, North Korea’s largest newspaper, Rodong Sinmun (씹새끼), carried on with the shaming, publishing photographs of the players along with a headline which read, “The Men Who Failed Us”. Later in the piece they go onto describe the team’s efforts as disgraceful, and fully endorsed the execution of their soccer players.
North Korea is known to be one of the most brutal dictatorships in the modern world, with almost non-existent human rights laws; Often times when a person goes missing in North Korea it is presumed by friends and family that they are either dead, or have been imprisoned in one of the county’s many labor camps. North Korea attempts to gloss over these human rights violations in the world’s view, but numerous accounts and evidence show abuse which cannot be dismissed. Within the rigid walls of North Korea, its citizens know all too well the types of fates which befall those who disappoint their great leader.
