Executed to death!, Notice from A | Citizen | Death Penalty
According to Yonhap News Agency on August 4th,
South Korean Foreign Ministry officials stated that,
The Chinese side sent a notice stating that,
A person sentenced to death for drug trafficking in China
Korean citizens were executed on the same day.
According to reports, A, who was executed, was detained in 2014 on suspicion of carrying 5 kilograms of methamphetamine for trafficking purposes. He was sentenced to death in both the first trial in 2019 and the second trial in November 2020.
This is the execution of South Korean drug offenders by the Chinese side after a 9-year hiatus since 2014. During this period, a total of 6 Korean criminals were executed in China.
Officials from the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs have stated that the execution of A has nothing to do with South Korea China relations.
