N.Korean media denounces defector diplomat as “threepenny clown”

Video accuses Thae of embezzlement and "egoism"

North Korea’s state-run Uriminzokkiri TV has released a video denouncing recent public appearances in South Korea by Thae Yong-ho, a former senior diplomat at the North Korean embassy in London.

The propaganda outlet attacked the South for using Thae as a “threepenny clown” for an anti-North Korea campaign and forcing Thae to criticize the North, referencing his comments to a closed-door news conference with South Korean reporters on December 27.
