Kim Jong Un has issued a secret order banning su***de in North Korea, labeling su***de an “act of treason against socialism.” The order came in response to a reported surge in su***des, with South Korean intelligence estimating a rise of about 40% compared to the previous year. Local government officials are held accountable for preventing su***des in their areas.
More recently, the regime has escalated this policy by imposing the death penalty on anyone who attempts su***de and fails to die. This harsh measure reflects the worsening economic crisis, widespread poverty, and starvation in the country, which are cited as main causes for the rising su***de rates.
The government meetings revealed shocking cases of family su***des and su***de notes criticizing the social system. Officials struggle to find effective countermeasures due to the underlying mass starvation issue, which remains unaddressed.
