N. Korea purging descendants of anti
North Korea is currently purging the descendants of prominent guerrillas who fought against Japanese colonialists, a former North Korean embassy minister in London who defected to Seoul last year said Friday.
During a meeting with officials from the Presidential Committee for Unification Preparation, former North Korean diplomat Thae Yong-ho claimed Kim Jong-un is currently purging the descendants from key posts in Pyongyang.
The remark is significant as the descendants played a crucial role in the successful transition of power to Kim Jong-un from his father.
The descendants have also been considered a privileged group in Pyongyang.
"The North Korean regime should be dismantled by separating Kim Jong-un and other elites," Thae was also quoted as saying by the committee. "In order to have them betray Kim, the upper bracket of North Korea must believe that they will face no disadvantages in a unified Korea."
"We need to provide aid to North Korea, but there must also be stronger surveillance," Thae said. (Yonhap)
