New reports are suggesting the entire family of Kim Jong-Un's uncle, who was executed in December, were also killed in an attempt to "clamp down on mutiny".

Jang Song Thaek, 67, was sentenced to death on December 12 after being accused of attempting to dethrone his nephew in an alleged military-backed coup.

Yonhap News Agency is now claiming all of Jang's direct relatives were called to the capital and executed.

"Extensive executions have been carried out for relatives of Jang Song Thaek," a source told the paper.

"All relatives of Jang have been put to death, including even children."

According to the paper, Jang's sister, her husband and ambassador to Cuba, and the ambassador to Malaysia were killed.

Sons, daughters and grandchildren of Jang's two brothers were also reportedly killed.

"Some relatives were shot to death by pistol in front of other people if they resisted while being dragged out of their apartment homes," a source said.

Others have reportedly been spared in 'the purge of the Jang Song-thaek people' but sent to remote villages so that "no traces of [Jang] be left".

The reports come as North Korea's top military body urged an end to all hostilities in an open letter to South Korea sent on the order of leader Kim Jong-Un.

"What is important for paving a wide avenue for mending North-South relations is to make a bold decision to stop all hostile military acts, the biggest hurdle stoking distrust and confrontation," the letter from the National Defence Commission said.

Jang Song Thaek’s family members, including children, executed – Yonhap

"Multiple sources" tell Yonhap News that Jang Song Thaek's extended family have been executed


by Chad O’Carroll , January 27, 2014

The direct relatives of the recently executed Jang Song Thaek have all been put to death on the orders of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency said on Sunday.

Entire families directly related to Kim Jong Un’s late uncle, who was executed in December for plotting to overthrow the Pyongyang government, were put to death with their children and grandchildren, “multiple sources” told Yonhap News.

Among those allegedly executed were Jang’s brother-in-law and Ambassador to Cuba Jon Yong-jin and Jang’s nephew and Ambassador to Malaysia Jang Yong-chol, the anonymous sources said.

The killings were reported to have taken place after Jang’s own execution on December 12 and designed to “mean that no traces of him should be left.”

Yonhap reported that although some relatives who had resisted arrest had been “shot to death by pistol in front of other people,” others related to Jang through marriage had been exiled to remote villages with their maiden families.

Yonhap’s report, which fitting in with South Korean media culture has been based on anonymous sourcing, has not yet been corroborated and follows a spate of sensational rumors about North Korea in recent weeks.

However, recent events and a traditional “guilt-by-association” culture in North Korea suggest the execution of Jang’s close family members could be true.

In particular, the same Ambassadors to Cuba and Malaysia allegedly now executed were spotted on separate occasions en-route to North Korea after being recalled from their overseas diplomatic postings in the wake of Jang’s purge.

And for decades a harsh “guilt-by-association” punishment culture prevailed in North Korea, with entire families facing heavy punishment – including death – simply for being related to convicted political dissidents or defectors.

Yonhap News, which is a publicly funded news agency with close links to the South Korean government and intelligence services, has been wrong on North Korea news in the past, but was the first media organisation to report on the purge of Jang Song Thaek, days before it was announced by North Korean media.

In December Jang Song Thaek was executed for a wide-range of crimes against the state that included plotting a coup, misappropriating resources, and womanizing.

His death was the first public execution of a senior official since the 1950s and stunned many long-time North Korea watchers.
