North Korea's dictator Kim Jong Un has come up with a new diktat to impose a crackdown on the population's exposure to Western media.

In its latest bid, North Korea has threatened the parents of children found watching Western films and TV series to languish in a forced labour camp for six months while, the children will be sent to 5-years imprisonment, according to media reports. 

In the past too, North Korea has introduced similar rules but the execution of these rules is believed to be stricter this time.
