North Korea plans to implement a general amnesty next month before celebrating its 70th founding anniversary on Sept. 9, Pyongyang's media said Monday.
The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said that amnesty will be granted to those who were convicted of crimes against the country and people on the occasion of the North's 70th founding anniversary.
The amnesty will take effect on Aug. 1, the report said, noting the cabinet and relevant organs will take practical measures to help the released people settle down to a normal working life.

Maybe all the prisoners will be released?

The timing seems interesting.
Yet ANOTHER prediction made by Scott Adams comes true.
Maybe NK is reading his blog posts and figure that since he predicted and explained POTUS Trump’s election and persuasion techniques, they might try getting themselves a piece of the “Golden Age”...
Would not put it past them.
Not at all.
Seems smart to continuously monitor what is being said by important people around the world.
You beat me to it!
You hear that, Mexicans? Amnesty in North Korea. Go for it!
This is all a game to allow time for Bomb manufacturing. Trump is very smart and knows this. He must preempt this mad man.
“The North last carried out a general amnesty in 2015 in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Korean Peninsula’s liberation from Japan’s colonial rule and the founding of the Workers’ Party.
In 2012, North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un granted amnesty to celebrate the centennial of the birth of his grandfather and the North’s founder Kim Il-sung and the 70th birthday of his father Kim Jong-il.”
With all those previous “General Amnesties” you’d think there would be nobody left to free.
This is a BS story. They will not open the gates of their gulags.
We already got out three CIA agents back. Btw — where are they ?? Not one interview?? Im glad they escaped. But the “ hostage” crap is so ludicrous.
I don’t quite understand what this means. The article states there were general amnesties in 2012 and 2015 but I don’t recall hearing about the prison camps being emptied then.
Ha! I enjoy listening to Scott Adams. Meet me for another simultaneous sip!
I noticed that as well. What this means I don’t know, they’re all reved up and ready to go.
There have been general amnesties before and the gulags are still full.
