Activists in Seoul vowed on Tuesday to keep sending anti-North Korean leaflets by balloon into the North’s territory, shrugging off a South Korean investigation into a balloon launch last week in defiance of a law banning the practice, which Pyongyang called an act of “dirty human scum.”
South Korea’s Ministry of Unification said Tuesday that authorities are investigating the launch of balloons across the closed inter-Korean border by a group called Fighters for a Free North Korea, the first such launch since the law came into effect in December.
In a move widely criticized by human rights groups and free speech advocates as a concession to placate North Korea, Seoul in December 2020 passed the law banning the airborne leaflets with messages critical of the North Korean government and its leaders, which civic groups have been doing for decades.
