China News Agency, Seoul, June 23 (Reporter Zeng Nai) The Korean Ministry of Unification reiterated on the 23rd that distributing anti-DPRK flyers intensified tensions between the ROK and DPRK and severely punished the groups and individuals involved.
In early June, North Korea protested South Korea's connivance of "North Korean defectors" to distribute anti-DPRK leaflets in the direction of North Korea, and cut off all communication lines between North and South Korea, and blow up the North Korea-South Korea liaison office. The South Korean government has repeatedly stated that it will handle the distribution of anti-DPRK leaflets in accordance with the law and hopes that the DPRK will abide by the previously signed agreement.
According to Korean media reports, a Korean civil society organization has recently distributed leaflets to the DPRK. On the 23rd, the Korean Ministry of Unification issued a statement saying that it still "deeply regrets" that some groups continue to distribute anti-DPRK flyers despite the relevant regulations, and will cooperate with the police and other departments to deal with the groups and individuals involved.
The Ministry of Unification said that it was clear again that the distribution of leaflets and articles to North Korea would intensify the tension between South Korea and North Korea and threaten the safety of the people in the border areas, and would severely punish such behavior. (Finish)
