A report reveals that North Korea has broadened the range of offenses punishable by death.
Reports suggest that anti-state propaganda and illegal manufacturing are now punishable by death for crimes.
According to reports, North Korea is broadening the range of offenses that can result in the death penalty.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the regime of Supreme leader Kim Jong Un increased the number of crimes punishable by death from 11 to 16 through revisions to criminal law.
The new codes include offenses such as anti-state propaganda and agitation acts, illegal manufacturing, and the illicit use of weapons as punishable by execution.
According to a report from the Korea Institute for National Unification (KINU), the legal modifications were codified through various amendments from May 2022 to December 2023.
The criminal code tightening aims to enhance the Kim regime's control over the population through its ongoing marketplace and military monopoly.
This month, North Korea pledged to enhance its weapons technology and bolster its nuclear power.
On Monday, at a celebration of North Korea's 76th anniversary, Kim Jong Un made remarks.
The dictator stated that the DPRK's nuclear force and the ability to use it effectively for maintaining the state's security should be further improved.
The full name of North Korea is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which is abbreviated as "DPRK."
The regime has been compelled to acquire more potent weapons due to the intensified US presence in the region, as stated by Kim Jong Un.
The supreme leader stated that the DPRK will continuously enhance its nuclear capabilities to counter any hostile actions from its nuclear-armed adversaries and intensify its efforts to prepare all military forces, including the nuclear force, for combat readiness.
Last year, the 14th Supreme People's Assembly, the country's unicameral legislative body, modified the national constitution to include nuclear weaponization as a fundamental principle.
