North Koreans crying at Kim Jong Il's funeral | Youtube
North Koreans who did not shed some tears during the highly orchestrated mourning over Kim Jong Il's death are going to serve six months in labor camp, South Korean newspaper The Daily NK reported Friday.

Citing a "source from North Hamkyung Province", The Daily NK said, "The authorities are handing down at least six months in a labor-training camp to anybody who didn’t participate in the organized gatherings during the mourning period, or who did participate but didn’t cry and didn't seem genuine."

It further said that the recriminations "created a vicious atmosphere of fear."

Citizens are also forced to idolize North Korea's newly-installed leader, Kim Jong Un, the youngest son of Kim Jong Il.

"Every day from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., they have vehicles for broadcast propaganda parked on busy roads full of people going to and from work, noisily working to proclaim Kim Jong Un’s greatness," the report said.

It added that many citizens are being made to study "the greatness of Kim Jong Un" in education sessions "packed so tightly together without a break that people are just exhausted."

"While it has not been possible to verify the public trial claim, earlier the authorities did order the military to shoot anyone who attempted to defect during the mourning period and eliminate their family, so it would not be surprising. The source agreed with earlier testimony stating that while it is usually possible to escape punishment during such crackdowns with bribes, it is much more difficult to do so now," it said.
