S. Korean activists to stop scattering anti-Pyongyang flyers

SEOUL, Nov. 25 (Yonhap) -- South Korean activists said Tuesday they will suspend sending propaganda leaflets over the border into North Korea for the time being.

The decision came after North Korea announced it will from early next week
suspend tours to the North Korean border city of Kaesong, halt cross-border rail
service and ban South Koreans from coming to the North to protest at Seoul's
"confrontational policy" toward Pyongyang.
"We decided to suspend our activities of sending leaflets for the time being,"
Park Sang-hak, head of Fighters for Free North Korea, a Seoul-based group of
North Korean defectors.
Pyongyang has threatened to cut all ties with South Korea unless it stops the
South Korean civic groups, mostly of North Korea defectors and families of
kidnapped South Koreans, from floating the leaflets critical of the North Korean
leader Kim Jong-il.
