KIM JONG-UN'S regime has
launched a fierce crackdown on illegal mobile phone users as it arrested 20
brokers who help North Koreans make contact with the outside world.
The group – some of whom
were moonlighting security officials – were detained as part of a country-wide
operation aimed at cutting citizen’s unauthorised links with reality. The
so-called “phone brokers” had been working to arrange calls and money transfers
from other nations.
Some of those arrested
included spies for Kim Jong-un, who were supposed to have been the “eyes and
ears of the state” but had defied the despot and acted as phone brokers on the
side, according to a source.
Sources told Radio Free Asia
authorities swooped on the group in Hyesan, a northern city on the border with
China.
