S. Korean activists to continue scattering anti-Pyongyang flyers

SEOUL, Nov. 25 (Yonhap) -- South Korean activists said Tuesday they will continue sending propaganda leaflets over the border into North Korea despite the communist neighbor's threats and Seoul's pleas to stop sending them.

The decision came a day after North Korea announced it will, starting next week,
suspend tours to the North Korean border city of Kaesong, halt cross-border rail
service and ban South Koreans from coming to the North to protest. North Korea
sees the measures as retaliation for Seoul's "confrontational policy" toward
Pyongyang.
"We at one point had decided to suspend our activities of sending leaflets for
the time being but reversed the decision after the North's announcement," Park
Sang-hak, head of Fighters for Free North Korea, a Seoul-based group of North
Korean defectors.
Pyongyang has threatened to cut all ties with South Korea unless it stops the
South Korean civic groups, mostly made up of North Korea defectors and families
of kidnapped South Koreans, from floating the leaflets critical of the North
Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
