North Korean authorities executed a commercial official for going to a public bath while he was supposed to be quarantined, according to the "Daily Mail", quoting a South Korean media.
The newspaper reported that the commercial official was arrested and shot immediately after he risked spreading the infection by visiting the public bathhouse.
He had previously placed the commercial official in isolation after returning from a trip to China.
North Korean cases have not yet been confirmed by officials, nor have they been reported except in the English version of the South Korean newspaper, "Jong Ang Ilbo."
There are no reports of any cases of HIV infection in Pyongyang, but experts say his presence in the country could be a disaster, due to chronic lack of health supplies and poor health-care infrastructure.
