Purged: North Korean leader Kim Jong-un speaks to Choe Ryong-hae, who worked as the director of the General Political Bureau of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong-un has purged his right-hand man who dared to defy him, according to reports.
North Korea's dictator has sent Choe Ryong Hae, a popular member of his inner-circle, for "re-education".
It is understood that Choe Ryong Hae may have defied Kim Jong-un, who over the past 18 months has brutally executed many of his high-ranking military and political chiefs. Those sent for "re-education" are usually subjected to brutal psychological torture.
Speaking to CNN, Victor Cha, from the Centre for Strategic and International studies, said: "It's not a country club, it is almost certainly a very gruelling process where there is both mental and physical abuse."
Kim Jong-un: The North Korean leader salutes his soldiers The reason why Choe Ryong Hae may not have suffered the same fate as many other high-ranking members of the regime who have stood up to the tyrant is that he is known as a "princeling" - the son of a North Korean revolutionary hero who fought the Japanese.
Over the summer, Kim Jong-un had a military chief executed using an anti-aircraft gun.
