"An uncle of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been executed, the Korean Central News Agency reported early Friday. "Traitor Jang Song Thaek Executed" blared the headline posted by the state-run news agency. The story said that a special military tribunal had been held Thursday against the "traitor for all ages," who was accused of having attempted to overthrow the state "by all sorts of intrigues and despicable methods." It added, "All the crimes committed by the accused were proved in the course of hearing and were admitted by him." The KCNA report described Jang as "despicable human scum" and "worse than a dog," and accused him of having betrayed his party and leader..."

"... On Monday, North Korea's citizens saw what would have seemed impossible just a few months ago: The man who had stood at Kim's side since he came to power, his uncle Jang Song Thaek, publicly humiliated in a shake-up that signals a fierce power struggle and sends a stern message to the country and the world..."

"South Korea's president has warned that ties with the communist North could become more unstable following the removal of a major powerbroker. President Park Geun-hye said the North was "carrying out a reign of terror", after news of the purge of Chang Song-thaek, uncle of leader Kim Jong-un. North Korea confirmed on Monday that Mr Chang was stripped off official posts. The move has been seen as the biggest shake-up in Pyongyang since the death of leader Kim Jong-il in December 2011. "North Korea is currently carrying out a reign of terror, undertaking a large-scale purge in order to strengthen Kim Jong-un's power," Ms Park said during a cabinet meeting..."

"North Korea has broadcast images of the once-powerful uncle of leader Kim Jong-un being removed from a meeting, confirming reports of his dismissal. The dramatic images show Chang Song-thaek being escorted from a party session by uniformed guards. The state news agency KCNA accused Mr Chang of forming factions against the state, corruption and "depraved" acts such as womanising and drug abuse. Analysts say such a public dismissal is unique and could signal a wider purge..." 

What does purge say about North Korea's stability?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-25296593
"North Korea's second most powerful figure has been purged from the country's ruling elite. State media accused Chang Song-thaek of challenging the leadership of Kim Jong-un and forming a rival faction within the Workers' Party. He has been stripped of all his official positions and expelled from the party, but what does his very public expulsion say about the stability of North Korea's opaque political machine, asks the BBC's Lucy Williamson? Few countries choreograph their political drama quite like North Korea. And after surviving for months on scraps of news and hearsay about the regime, analysts of the country's politics have been thrown a juicy steak. Almost overnight, Chang Song-thaek has morphed from uncle and mentor to North Korea's young leader, to "anti-revolutionary" criminal outcast. He has been stripped of all official positions, edited out of official documentary footage, and his forcible removal from a party meeting, as well as his long list of alleged misdeeds and character faults have been broadcast on state media..."
