CHAN:
Two conservative pro-democracy groups released 10 balloons laden with money and leaflets in Kimpo, South Korea today. One of the groups, Fighters For A Free North Korea, expects the balloons to catch the wind and land across the border into their cut-off communist neighbor.


STORY:
Each balloon carries envelopes that contain a message and either one U.S. dollar or 10 yuan bill.

Some of the messages are reports about North Korea's leader Kim Jong-il, whose ailing health has been reported about in many countries. The groups are also demanding that the North release people abducted from the South.




The group already sent two sets of 100,000 anti-North Korea leaflets into the North in October and earlier this month.

In reaction North Korea threatened to reduce the South to rubble unless it stopped its civic groups from sending anti-Pyongyang literature into the communist state.

While sending leaflets into North Korea is not illegal in South Korea, the ministry said authorities would try hard to stop the civic group members from doing so, angering the anti-North campaigners.

[Kim Ho-nyeon, Unification Ministry]:
"The related authorities, including our Unification Ministry, are aggressively working on it within legal boundaries, urging them not to send leaflets.”

Relations between the two states have increasingly frayed since February when, after 10 years of left-leaning leaders, conservative President Lee Myung-bak took office. He's pledged to get tough with Pyongyang but is also offering massive economic aid if it mends its ways.

  • Figures when South Korea calls for true peace, North korea threatens them with violence

    Why can't Kim Jong il die by choking on a pretzel? Seems to be a more effective weapon then any grenade or whatnot. A lot cleaner too
