Traitor Jang Song Thaek
Executed
Pyongyang, December
13 (KCNA) — Upon hearing the report on the enlarged meeting of the Political
Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, the service
personnel and people throughout the country broke into angry shouts that a
stern judgment of the revolution should be meted out to the anti-party,
counter-revolutionary factional elements. Against the backdrop of these shouts
rocking the country, a special military tribunal of the DPRK Ministry of State
Security was held on December 12 against traitor for all ages Jang Song Thaek.
The accused Jang
brought together undesirable forces and formed a faction as the boss of a
modern day factional group for a long time and thus committed such hideous
crime as attempting to overthrow the state by all sorts of intrigues and
despicable methods with a wild ambition to grab the supreme power of our party
and state.
The tribunal
examined Jang's crimes.
All the crimes
committed by the accused were proved in the course of hearing and were admitted
by him.
A decision of the
special military tribunal of the Ministry of State Security of the DPRK was
read out at the trial.
Every sentence of
the decision served as sledge-hammer blow brought down by our angry service
personnel and people on the head of Jang, an anti-party, counter-revolutionary
factional element and despicable political careerist and trickster.
The accused is a
traitor to the nation for all ages who perpetrated anti-party,
counter-revolutionary factional acts in a bid to overthrow the leadership of
our party and state and the socialist system.
Jang was appointed
to responsible posts of the party and state thanks to the deep political trust
of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il and received benevolence from
them more than any others from long ago.
He held higher
posts than before and received deeper trust from supreme leader Kim Jong Un, in
particular.
The political trust
and benevolence shown by the peerlessly great men of Mt. Paektu were something
he hardly deserved.
It is an elementary
obligation of a human being to repay trust with sense of obligation and
benevolence with loyalty.
However, despicable
human scum Jang, who was worse than a dog, 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.
From long ago, Jang
had a dirty political ambition. He dared not raise his head when Kim Il Sung
and Kim Jong Il were alive. But, reading their faces, Jang had an axe to grind
and involved himself in double-dealing. He began revealing his true colors,
thinking that it was just the time for him to realize his wild ambition in the
period of historic turn when the generation of the revolution was replaced.
Jang committed such
an unpardonable thrice-cursed treason as overtly and covertly standing in the
way of settling the issue of succession to the leadership with an axe to grind
when a very important issue was under discussion to hold respected Kim Jong Un
in high esteem as the only successor to Kim Jong Il in reflection of the
unanimous desire and will of the entire party and army and all people.
When his cunning
move proved futile and the decision that Kim Jong Un was elected vice-chairman
of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea at the Third
Conference of the WPK in reflection of the unanimous will of all party members,
service personnel and people was proclaimed, making all participants break into
enthusiastic cheers that shook the conference hall, he behaved so arrogantly
and insolently as unwillingly standing up from his seat and half-heartedly
clapping, touching off towering resentment of our service personnel and people.
Jang confessed that
he behaved so at that time as a knee-jerk reaction as he thought that if Kim
Jong Un's base and system for leading the army were consolidated, this would
lay a stumbling block in the way of grabbing the power of the party and state.
When Kim Jong Il
passed away so suddenly and untimely to our sorrow, he began working in real
earnest to realize its long-cherished greed for power.
Abusing the honor
of often accompanying Kim Jong Un during his field guidance, Jang tried hard to
create illusion about him by projecting himself internally and externally as a
special being on a par with the headquarters of the revolution.
In a bid to rally a
group of reactionaries to be used by him for toppling the leadership of the
party and state, he let the undesirable and alien elements including those who
had been dismissed and relieved of their posts after being severely punished
for disobeying the instructions of Kim Jong Il and kowtowing to him work in a
department of the Central Committee of the WPK and organs under it in a crafty
manner.
Jang did serious
harm to the youth movement in our country, being part of the group of renegades
and traitors in the field of youth work bribed by enemies. Even after they were
disclosed and purged by the resolute measure of the party, he patronized those
cat's paws and let them hold important posts of the party and state.
