Conservative group to release list of pro-N.K. activists
(ATTN: ADDS with details throughout)
SEOUL, Nov. 26 (Yonhap) -- A Seoul-based conservative group will release a list
of South Koreans it alleges are pro-North Korean activists early next year, it
said Thursday.
"We will unveil the list of 100 pro-North Korean activists who are playing a
major role in political, religious and academic communities," said Koh Young-joo,
head of the Committee for the Normalization of the State, at a press conference
in downtown Seoul.
He said that the 100 people will include 10 from the political circle, seven from
government offices, 30 from labor, 20 from academia and 10 from the religious
community.
Koh said his organization will publish the list in March next year and release
the second edition of the book in late 2010, which will include a total of 200
pro-Pyongyang activists.
Incumbent lawmakers, professors and judges who have praised or supported North
Korean ideology or propaganda will be included on the list, the organization
said.
It said that the listed figures will be chosen from those who demanded the
withdrawal of U.S. troops from South Korea and the abolition of the
anti-communist National Security Law.
But former liberal South Korean presidents will be excluded from the list, it added.
