Kim Jong-Un Bans All Weddings, Funerals And Freedom Of Movement In North Korea (independent.co.uk)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Independent: Weddings and funerals have been banned and Pyongyang is in lockdown as preparations for a once-in-a-generation party congress get underway in North Korea. The ruling Worker's Party of Korea, headed by the country's leader, Kim Jong-un, is due to stage the first gathering of its kind for 36 years on Friday. Free movement in and out of the capital has also been forbidden and there has been an increase in inspections and property searches, according to Daily NK, which claims to have sources in the country. The temporary measures are said to be an attempt to minimize the risk of "mishaps" at the event, according to Cheong Joon-hee, a spokesman at South Korea's Unification Ministry. Meanwhile, North Korea has been conducting missile tests left and right, many of which have failed miserably.
I was not aware you could keep people from dying by outlawing funerals.
Minimum threshold fixed. Thanks!

When North Korea cracks down on freedom, Slashdot rushes to their defense to try to debunk the story.
That's because every story out of North Korea sounds like it was made up by someone on LSD.
It's going to be a great mushroom cloud. We've had mushroom clouds in the past and they were great and we're going to have them again. And..And..they are going to pay for the mushroom cloud. It's going to be a huge mushroom cloud and America is going to be great again.
> ...and a single drone strike in NK could solve much of the world's conflict.
That might actually and forever solve all of the worlds conflicts.
I wonder if starting a war between the US and China really is really such a promising perspective from your mothers basement, Mr. Warrior.
If you are old enough I suggest you enlist in the army and fight and fall for some made up convincing reason in some desert instead of starting a career in politics cause further world wars.
A well-regulated incandescence, being necessary for the illumination of a free state, the right of the people to use shitty light bulbs shall not be infringed!
