Rev. Han Sang Ryol Sentenced to Prison Term in S. Korea
Pyongyang, January 24 (KCNA) -- The Seoul Central District Court sentenced Rev. Han Sang Ryol to five years in prison and five-year suspension of qualifications on Jan. 21, according to Yonhap News of south Korea.

The south Korean authorities arrested him as soon as he crossed Panmunjom at north-south borderline after visiting the DPRK last year. They persecuted him long and at last sentenced him to severe punishment.

The court also sentenced Co-representative Han Chung Mok and several members of the Solidarity for Progress to prison term and other punishment on charges of waging anti-U.S. actions.
