Park Sang-hak, a North Korean defector-turned-activist, said Monday he flew 200,000 balloons carrying anti-Pyongyang propaganda leaflets and COVID-19 medical supplies across the border from South Korea into North Korea.⁠ ⁠ One placard had an image of North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, and a message saying that his grandfather, Kim Il Sung, was responsible for starting the Korean War.⁠ ⁠ South Korea passed an “anti-leaflet” law in 2020 that punishes anti-regime messages with three years in prison, due to concerns over the safety of border town residents and tension on the Korean peninsula. ⁠ ⁠ In 2022, Park was indicted for violating the law. He filed a complaint claiming the law violates constitutional rights.⁠ ⁠ In a previous interview with VICE, the high-profile defector said he would “continue sending messages until the day when North Korean people are liberated.” 📽: Fighters for a Free North Korea #NorthKorea #KimJongUn #Pyongyang #Seoul
