That day the puppet Intelligence Service backed by two companies of policemen searched the offices and houses of leading members of the organization and offices of the council for supporting the organization before arresting Han Chung Mok, co-representative of the organization, Choe Yong Ok, vice-chairperson of the Committee for Independent Reunification, and Jong Tae Yon, former chairperson of the Policy Committee.

The fascist maniacs took such action against them on charges of violating the provisions of "meeting and communication" and "reception of directives" of the "National Security Law," taking issue with a working-level contact held by the organization with the north through the South Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration.
