The farmers were unable to cope with the task.
In North Korea , flower farmers are sent to labor camps en masse. This is due to the fact that gardeners were unable to ensure the flowering of red begonias for the birthday of the father of dictator Kim Jong Il.
It is reported by the Daily Mail.
The streets of North Korean cities are traditionally decorated with red “Kimjongilia” begonias on the eve of the birthday of the late Kim Jong Il, the father of the current dictator. This event is celebrated on February 16 and is known in the country under the name “Glowing Star Day”.
This year, the authorities have traditionally ordered thousands of flowers to growers for the holiday, but farmers were unable to cope with the task due to a shortage of firewood, which is used to heat greenhouses with plants.
After the flowers failed to bloom on time, the gardeners were sentenced to six months in labor camps.
Recall that a 30-year-old teacher was arrested in North Korea because she taught children the wrong dances. The dance movements were called “capitalist”.
