SEOUL -- North Korean defector Park Sang Hak and his Fighters for a Free North Korea have no plans to stop sending message-bearing balloons across the border into their former home, despite mounting pressure from South Korea to keep the peace.
The group's leaflets, which are attached to balloons and floated across the Demilitarized Zone into North Korea, have emerged as a major flashpoint between the two Koreas in recent weeks, with Pyongyang destroying their liaison office in retaliation. The South Korean government is pressing charges against activist groups behind the leaflets in order to keep the door to dialogue with the North open.
