         South Korean Activists Drop Propaganda Leaflets in North Korea

   by VOA News

   South Korean activists have dropped tens of thousands of propaganda
   leaflets on a border city of North Korea to commemorate the sixth
   anniversary of the sinking of a South Korean ship in which 46 sailors
   were lost.

   Seoul blames Pyongyang for the sinking and in return suspended trade
   and investment ties.

   Some 50,000 leaflets floated into the city of Paju Saturday, carried by
   gas balloons, carrying messages condemning North Korea's tradition of
   absolute power centered in one family. They called on dictator Kim Jong
   Un to step down and stop threatening Western nations with nuclear war.

   Saturday is the anniversary of the sinking of the Cheonan warship,
   which Seoul blames on a torpedo from a North Korean submarine.

   North Korea responded by dropping leaflets on South Korea Saturday as
   well, criticizing South Korea's democratic government and President
   Park Geun-hye.

   Tensions between the two Koreas rose earlier this year when North Korea
   tested a nuclear missile in early January, followed by a long-range
   rocket launch in February.

   The two Koreas have remained technically at war since the three-year
   Korean War ended with a truce in 1953.
