S. Korean Court Sentences Pro-North Residents to Prison Terms
Pyongyang, February 5 (KCNA) -- The south Korean Jeju District Court on Feb. 1 sentenced residents to prison terms on charges of violation of the ill-famed "Security Law", according to south Korean Yonhap News. They were detained on suspicion of praising the DPRK.

The court declared them guilty for the mere reason that they made and distributed literatures praising the DPRK while operating an "enemy-benefiting organization" from 2006 to 2008. It labeled their act a "dangerous one of jeopardizing security".
