35 civic and public organizations in North Jolla Province including the North Jolla Provincial Headquarters of the Confederation of Trade Unions, the North Jolla Provincial Peace and Human Rights Solidarity and the People for Achieving Peace and Reunification held a press conference outside the building of the North Jolla Provincial Police Agency in protest against the puppet group's crackdown.

In a press release, the organizations said that the act of forcibly searching Pak Song Su's house and printing office for the mere reason that he scattered leaflets against the Park's regime is a serious human rights abuse as it is the suppression of the freedom of expression.

The organizations urged Park Geun Hye and the regime to lend ears to the voices of the people and stop the crackdown upon leaflet scattering actions.

Meanwhile, Pak Song Su, who is subject to suppression due to the leaflet scattering action against Park Geun Hye, distributed among the participants in the press conference leaflets critical of the moves to obliterate democracy which have escalated since the present regime came to power, declaring that what he did was just and he would continue his struggle in the future, too.
