I would even say it cares that other dissidents notice and understand exactly who did it. Had this been a robbery or some car accident it would not have been as effective. The message is "we are coming after you"
- rukuu001 10y agoI remember a long time ago ('97) there was a major defection from the North Korean camp to the South. Couple days later, in Seoul, the North Koreans assassinated some other guy who'd defected 10 years earlier. Not only is the message "We're coming for you," but also "you can never feel safe again."
- dba7dba 10y agoI believe you are talking about a distant relative or nephew of the North Korea's Kim family. I believe the victim was actually shot to death in front of his home by someone with a pistol, which was a big news... Touch choice. Stay in North Korea and be dragged off to labor camp or get executed. Or defect and get assassinated years later.
