North Korea has executed five Economic Ministry workers after they criticised Kim Jong-Un's policies, according to reports. It was reported that the employees had also spoken about the need for North Korea to seek foreign co-operation in order to overcome looming trade sanctions, according to DailyNK. The outlet said that the heads of the Economic Ministry, as well as Kim Jong-Un himself, were told about the comments before authorities launched an internal investigation. It is believed that the unsuspecting workers were summoned to a meeting before they were arrested, forced to confess to undermining the regime, and executed. It comes after it was reported that Kim Jong-Un displayed his uncle's head after executing the powerful general by firing squad.
