North Korea Threatens Human Rights Balloon Activists

My favorite North Korean activists Fighters For Free North Korea led by Park Sang-hak are at it once again pissing off the North Korean regime:

North Korea’s military warned Saturday that it would take “necessary measures” if South Korea does not draw up plans to prevent propaganda activities such as sending leaflets to the communist state.

The two Koreas agreed in 2004 to stop decades of propaganda warfare across the Demilitarized Zone dividing the nations, but the South Korean government says it can not prevent activists from sending the leaflets, citing freedom of speech.

“We will take corresponding decisive measures soon unless the South side takes an understandable measure to discontinue the despicable psychological smear campaign and formally notifies the North side of it,” the country’s the official Korean Central News Agency cited comments by military officials.

For the past couple of years, South Korean activists have flown tens of thousands of leaflets criticizing North Korean leader Kim Jong-il into the North, and some of them also burned North Korean flags with Kim’s picture printed on them.  [Yonhap]

Really what are the North Koreans going to do to stop these activists, send their leftist thugs after them again?  If so Park Sang-hak and his fellow activists should contact the ROK military veterans groups that have battled these leftist thugs before to protect the MacArthur statue in Incheon.

    Leftist thugs? Couldn't you say that North Korea is rightist as it fears social change and it's regime is anything but egalitarian?
