통일부 "전단살포는 교류협력법 위반"…탈북단체 2곳 고발
The Unification Ministry announced Wednesday that it will file a complaint with police against two organizations of North Korean defectors for violating the Inter-Korean Exchange and Cooperation Act.
Balloons and plastic bottles carrying anti-North Korea leaflets were sent across the border on the last day of May.
The government said such acts not only violate the agreement reached by the leaders of the two Koreas, but have threatened the safety of residents living near the border.
The government has also started the process of revoking their nonprofit organization permits.
The move comes a day after North Korea cut off its communication line with South Korea in response to the anti-Pyeongyang leaflet droppings.
