"ANARCHY" IN N.K.??
Already Nov. 9 the (in my opinion anti-DPRK) internet magazine DailyNK reported about riots in the city of Hoeryeong. Yesterday now the "left-liberal" daily Hankyoreh published following story:
One dead in N.K. clash between protesters, authorities
Citizens, upset about new market regulations, storm gov't office
Clashes between locals and the authorities broke out in the North Korean city of Hoeryong (Hoeryeong) in September and again in early November, according to a November 29 report in the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, which said the clashes related to regulations placed by authorities on a local market. The melee ended with one person dead and twenty arrested.
According to the report, the conflict began when authorities imposed stronger regulations about the operating hours and after-hours transactions at "Nammun Market" in this important border city in North Hamgyong province.
During the confrontation that took place in September, one woman died after being struck by a market official. In the second clash, in early November, 18 people were arrested after dozens of locals showed up at the market management office to protest the new regulations. The report said that two people were arrested later for allegedly playing leading roles in the protests and were taken away by North Korea's public security agency.

Also yesterday DailyNK wrote this about the same incident:
20 Arrested in the Nammun Protest Incident
A protest incident at Nammun market in Hoeryong, N. Korea, which was first reported by the Daily NK on Nov. 8th, caused 20 people arrested by the North Korean authorities, according to the Asahi Shimbun report yesterday.
The Japanese newspaper also covered a death of a resident in a clash over management of the Nammun market in September.
Nammun market is located 2 km southeast from Hoeryong city and supplied basic necessities for local residents. The Asahi said “Residents resisted against the government’s regulation of opening hours of the market and prohibition of off-hour
Out of the 20 arrested, two were accused of inciting and leading the protest.
On November 8th, the Daily NK reported that about one hundred angry merchants, as a mass, requested the management authority to ‘return the market renovation payment’ and against ‘merge of Hoeryong markets,’ in a rudimentary form of demonstration.
The mass protest in North Korea, in which any sort of group movement is prohibited, would be the first kind of such incident known to the outside.
