Mandatory mourning in North Korea: No one can laugh or drink alcohol
The decree was released by the leader of the regime Kim Jong
The decree is based on the 10th anniversary of the death of his predecessor leader and father Kim Jonil. The mourning will be active for eleven days, starting this Friday, December 17.
Despite the fact that Kim Jong celebrates 10 years in power today, this is no reason for celebration, as the North Korean leader has stated that it is a commemorative date, since his predecessor said goodbye to this world on December 17, 2011, following cardiac arrest.
However, the measure not only contemplates the prohibition of showing affection, but also the consumption of liquor.
The decree was extended for 11 days
This is not a new practice, the Kin Jong government has always commemorated this mourning for about four days, but now because it is the tenth anniversary of the death of Kim Jon-il (father), it has been decided to extend the decree for 11 days.
The information was released through Radio Free Asia (RFA), from the Asian country, and the statement stated the following: "People are prohibited from laughing, drinking alcohol or engaging in leisure activities that could trigger an act of celebration or recreation ".
The violation of the decree contemplates an "ideological crime"
Official sources of the regime have recalled that any indication of violation of the decree, which contemplates the prohibition of entertainment, will be judged as an ideological crime.
Likewise, it has been known that the security forces will carry out a control protocol, which will ensure compliance with the decree at all costs.
Whoever disrespects the decision will have a severe consequence, without forgetting that executions by the North Korean government are the order of the day.
