(SEOUL, South Korea) In defiance of new laws that ban sending anti-Pyongyang leaflets, an anti-North Korean activist group claimed it has launched balloons carrying leaflets and U.S. dollar bills from an unknown location near the border this week.
Ten 8-foot-tall balloons were filled with 500,000 anti-Pyongyang leaflets, 5,000 $1 bills and 500 mini booklets depicting South Korea’s remarkable development, according to Fighters for Free North Korea.
The launch is subject to a maximum prison term of three years or a fine of $27,400 under the revised “Inter-Korean Relations Development Act.” The law went into effect on March 31 after Pyongyang’s furious objections and threats last year to cut all inter-Korean projects if Seoul does not force these groups to halt the balloon launches.
