According to reports from South Korea, North Korea has publicly executed the country's defense minister after the regime accused him of treason. Hyon Yong Chol was killed with an anti-aircraft gun at a military school in front of hundreds of people in Pyongyang. Hyon was apparently executed because he expressed discontent towards leader Kim Jong Un, and failed to follow Kim's orders on several occasions. On Tuesday, the grassroots organization Women on 20s released the results of its 10-week-long online survey to determine the woman who—it hopes—will be the new face on the $20 bill. Over 600,000 votes were tallied, and a victor declared: Harriet Tubman. The Women on 20s campaign is also launching a new online initiative to push President Barack Obama to act, asking social media users to use hashtag #DearMrPresident.
