KOREA D.P.R. [and non] Radio Free North Korea<br />

<br />

Joy and sorrow crossed the minds of North Korean defectors and anti-North<br />

Korea activists struggling to let the North Korean people know about their<br />

lea<strong>der</strong> Kim Jong Il's totalitarianism. The Paris-based Reporters without<br />

Bor<strong>der</strong>s (Reporters sans Frontieres) has awarded its media prize this year<br />

to Kim Sung-min of Radio Free North Korea, the foun<strong>der</strong> of the Stalinist<br />

country's first dissident radio station, along with 2,500 euros (3,194<br />

U.S. dollars). Park Sang-hak, head of the Fighters for a Free North Korea<br />

that disseminates anti-North Korea leaflets to the North, pledged to stop<br />

the practice for the time being. Kim received his award in Paris to global<br />

fanfare, while Park made his decision at the headquarters of the ruling<br />

Grand National Party in Seoul.<br />

The French group said its jury chose Radio Free North Korea to pay tribute<br />

to its courage to broadcast news and information in North Korea, along<br />

with other winners such as a Cuban journalist and two Burmese bloggers.<br />

The media advocacy group apparently consi<strong>der</strong>s Kim Sung-min's activities<br />

despite North Korea's threat to kill him as fighting for freedom of the<br />

press. This is in stark contrast to ruling party lea<strong>der</strong> Park Hee-tae, who<br />

asked Fighters for a Free North Korea to stop sending anti-communist<br />

leaflets to the North for the time being. So Reporters without Bor<strong>der</strong>s<br />

encouraged North Korean defectors to alert the North Korean people of<br />

their situation, while the ruling party chief did the exact opposite.<br />

Both lea<strong>der</strong>s of the two anti-North Korea groups, who are also defectors<br />

from the North, have received more encouragement and support from abroad<br />

than at home. U.S. President George W. Bush invited them to the White<br />

House to praise their commitment. The U.S. government and civic groups<br />

have also offered significant financial support, especially to Radio Free<br />

North Korea. The radio station's award should make people think about<br />

progressive forces in South Korean society, which have ignored anti-North<br />

Korea activists and defectors who try to tell the truth to those in the<br />

North.<br />

Progressive or left-wing groups who physically confronted members of the<br />

Fighters for a Free North Korea and the Family Assembly of those Abducted<br />

to North Korea four days ago welcomed the measure to stop sending the<br />

leaflets. The People's Solidarity for Social Progress praised the ruling<br />

party's measure, and urged a complete suspension of sending the leaflets.<br />

The group probably knows that Radio Free North Korea won the award. Though<br />

different in form, broadcasts and leaflets have the same purpose of
