North Korea on Wednesday threatened to “impose a death penalty” on South Korean ex-president Park Geun-Hye for allegedly plotting to assassinate Pyongyang’s leader Kim Jong-Un.
North Korea’s security ministry and prosecutors reportedly released a statement saying Park had “pushed forward” a plan by Seoul’s intelligence services to eliminate the North Korean leadership, according to North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency reports.
“We declare at home and abroad that we will impose death penalty on traitor Park Geun Hye,” the statement released by the agency said. The statement also said that the former director of South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) Lee Byung-Ho would also be killed.
They “can never make any appeal even though they meet miserable dog’s death anytime, at any place and by whatever methods from this moment,” the statement added.
The Pyongyang statement demanded that Seoul hand over “traitor Park” and the former intelligence chief “as they committed hideous state-sponsored terrorism against the supreme leadership” of North Korea, according to AFP reports. Park is currently on trial in Seoul on charges of bribery and abuse of power.
