North Korea has executed five Ministry of Economy workers after they criticized Kim Jong-Un’s policies, according to reports.
The five men, who had been attending a dinner party, had openly discussed the stagnation of the economy in the militarized nation state, as well as the Need for industrial reform as it continues to produce few consumer goods for its impoverished citizens.
The employees were also reported to have spoken about the need for North Korea to seek foreign cooperation to overcome looming trade sanctions, according to DailyNK.
The outlet said the heads of the Economy Ministry, as well as Kim Jong-Un himself, were briefed on the comments before authorities launched an internal investigation.
The unsuspecting workers are believed to have been summoned to a meeting before being arrested, forced to confess that they were attacking the regime, and executed.

Daily NK also said that their families were transferred to a political camp in Yodeok, Hamgyeongnam-do, which is known to host political dissidents.
The alleged executions have sparked fears that the purges have returned after initially sweeping the country in 2011 following the death of former Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il.
It comes after it was reported that Kim Jong-Un showed his uncle’s head after executing the powerful general by firing squad.
