North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un sentenced his uncle to be eaten alive by a pack of 120 wild dogs in a savage punishment for treachery, it has been claimed.
Jang Song-Thaek,
67, along with five close aides, was stripped naked and thrown into a
cage of hounds which had been starved for three days, according to new
details emerging from China.
The pack of animals spent more than an hour mauling the group in a punishment called 'quan jue', or execution by dogs, a report in Chinese newspaper Wen Wei Po said.

The tyranical leader of the communist state had accused his uncle - once seen as North Korea's second most powerful man - of treason and corruption and described him as 'scum' and 'factionalist filth' during his recent New Year message.
Unlike previous executions of political prisoners, which were carried out by firing squads with machine guns, this extraordinary sentence seems to have been specially reserved for the most hated in North Korean society.
The report in the Chinese language
newspaper said the entire process was supervised by the supreme leader in
North Korea, along with 300 senior officials - a clear warning against anyone challenging Kim's leadership.

The fact details of the barbaric punishment emerged in a newspaper, viewed as Beijing Government's official mouthpiece, in Hong Kong, has been seen as another signal of China's authorities losing patience with its wayward neighbour, according to The Straits Times.
Kim Jong-Un spoke of the execution of his 67-year-old uncle during his New Year address telling the country 'our party took resolute action to remove...scum elements within the party last year.'
The 30-year-old leader appeared on state television for the speech and analysts say the words reflect his feelings towards aides of his uncle, Jang Song-Thaek, and other family members who are believed to have been sent to labour camps.
'Our
party's timely, accurate decision to purge the anti-party,
anti-revolutionary elements helped greatly cement solidarity within our
party,' said Kim, adding that 'factionalist filth' had been
'eliminated.'

threat
His statement on state tv was the first time he had publicly criticised his uncle, who was executed on December 12 after he was accused of treason, corruption, following the ways of the hated West, and being a womaniser.
In its announcement of the sentence, the North Korean regime described Jang as ‘despicable human scum’, who was ‘worse than a dog’.
Furthermore,
he ‘perpetrated thrice-cursed acts of treachery in betrayal of such
profound trust and warmest paternal love shown by the Party and the
leader for him’.
His
supposed crimes against the regime included having ‘improper relations
with several women’ and having ‘wined and dined at back parlours of
deluxe restaurants’.
In
addition, Jang was said to have ‘squandered foreign currency at casinos
while he was receiving medical treatment in a foreign country under the
care of the party’.
Worst of all perhaps, in the twisted logic of this supposed workers’ paradise, was that Jang was guilty of ‘such factional acts as dreaming different dreams’.
Revelations: Kim Jong-un used his New Year's speech to defend the recent execution for treason of Jang Song-thaek, Kim's uncle and North Korean second most powerful man of the past decades

Although Jang had played a major role
in helping the inexperienced Kim after the younger man had taken power
following the death of his father, Kim Jong-Il in December 2011, the new
leader is believed to have felt threatened by Jang's power.
Observers
in neighbouring South Korea agree that Kim has been running a 'reign of
terror' in carrying out a 'massive purge' to consolidate his grip.
Kim also used his New Year message to warn that the Korean peninsula would be engulfed by a 'massive nuclear disaster' if war broke out there again - a reference to the Korean war of the early 1950s when South Korea, supported by the United Nations, fought with North Korea which was at one time supported by China and the Soviet Union.
'If the war breaks out again in this land, it will bring about a massive nuclear disaster and the US will never be safe,' he warned.
Before issuing his New Year message, Kim warmly wrapped in a thick coat and a bearskin hat, visited his pet project, the Masik Pass Ski Resort, lauded by state media as having been completed at 'lightning speed'.
Kim took a test ride on a ski lift, rising up over the project that he said during an earlier visit was 'at the centre of the world's attention'.
HOW PARANOIA AND DESIRE FOR VENGEANCE GRIP ISOLATED KIM JONG-UN
Kim Jong-Un is no stranger to
ordering brutal crackdowns on anyone even suspected of posing a
political threat - no matter how close the relationship.
The
dictator had his former lover singer Hyon Song-wol, pictured right,
executed by machine gun amid claims that she had been appearing in
pornographic videos.
Hyon
was among a dozen singers, musicians and dancers from two pop groups
who were machine-gunned to death on August 20, last year.
The savage death of Kim's uncle sent shock waves through the authoritarian state, showing no one was safe - even family members.
Kim's teenage nephew fled to a university campus in Paris after the execution of Jang Song-Thaek.
The
19-year-old's name was removed from the postbox at prestigious social
science university Sciences-Po, which saw South Korean media report that
he was hiding for fear of his safety.
Fears also mounted last month that Kim's wife Ri Sol-Ju had fallen out of favour with the tempestuous leader.
She had not been seen publicly for weeks and was not present in an official photograph, provoking speculation
But these were largely eased when a video was released showing her with Kim Jong-Un at a memorial service to mark the second anniversary of his father's death.
