Južnokorejski aktivisti poslali propagandne letke u balonima Severnoj Koreji

SEUL - Aktivisti iz grupe koja okuplja građane Severne Koreje koji su prebegli u Južnu Koreju saopštili su da su danas poslali preko granice oko 10 velikih plastičnih balona koji nose propagandne letke protiv severnokorejskog režima.

Šef grupe "Borci za slobodnu Severnu Koreju" (FFNK) Park Sang-hak rekao je da su baloni poslati iz grada Počeona, severno od glavnog grada Južne Koreje, Seula, i da se u njima nalazi 200.000 flajera u kojima se kritikuje severnokorejski režim, kao i USB memorije sa pop muzikom, preneo je Jonhap.

Severna Koreja je od prošle sedmice poslala gotovo 1.000 balona koji su nosili smeće u Južnu Koreju, navodeći da je reč o odgovoru Pjongjanga na slanje propagandnih letaka iz Južne Koreje protiv severnokorejskog režima.

FFNK je poslao balone preko granice, iako su takvi akti zabranjeni u Južnoj Koreji zakonom koji je usvojen za vreme prethodne vlade u cilju smanjenja tenzija u pograničnim regionima.

A North Korean defectors group said

Thursday it has sent about 10 large plastic balloons carrying

propaganda leaflets against the North Korean regime across the

border, raising concerns Pyongyang could resume sending

trash-filled balloons.

Filled with 200,000 flyers criticizing the regime, dollar bills

and USB sticks loaded with K-pop and trot music, the balloons were

floated from Pocheon, north of Seoul, early Thursday, according to

Park Sang-hak, head of the Fighters for a Free North Korea FFNK.

Since last week, Pyongyang has sent nearly 1,000 balloons

carrying trash to the South in what it called a "tit-for-tat"

action against such anti-Pyongyang leaflet campaigns.

After the South Korean government on Sunday warned of

"unendurable" measures, including resuming loudspeaker

broadcasting, the North said it will temporarily halt dropping

balloons across the border.

North Korea, however, also warned it will send "a hundred times

the amount of toilet paper and filth" of what the South sends,

raising concerns the reclusive country could start the waste-filled

campaign again.

The FFNK has sent balloons carrying similar goods across the

border although such acts are banned in South Korea under a law

that was legislated during the previous administration to help

reduce tensions in the border regions.
