North Korea ‘executes three people found guilty of cannibalism’

In one case, a starving man used an axe to kill a work colleague, ate some of
the flesh and sold the rest in a local market as mutton.

Pyongyang has been accused of using food supplies as a weapon to cow its own
people, effectively turning a blind eye to illegal markets when food is
scarce but then cracking down on private sales again and limiting deliveries
when supplies are more abundant.

It is also accused of failing to pass on food aid that it receives from
international aid agencies to those most in need.

A survey of 500 refugees from the regime conducted by the Network for North
Korean Democracy and Human Rights in March 2011 showed that 391 had never
received food aid and, of the 109 who had been given food, 29 said they had
been forced to hand it over to North Korean officials when the aid agency’s
representatives had departed.

China is also investigating allegations that capsules of drugs being smuggled
into South Korea contain the powdered remains of dead babies.
