A Seoul court has dismissed local civic groups request to block the sales and distribution of memoirs of North Korean founder Kim Il-sung, judicial sources said Sunday.
According to the sources, the Seoul Western District Court rejected Thursday an injunction sought by several conservative organizations, including the New Paradigm of Korea, to ban the sales of the eight-volume memoirs, titled With the Century.
