The statement accused the prosecution of deciding on non-restraint on Won Se Hun, former director of the Intelligence Service, for his interference in political affairs.

It chided the IS for distorting the people's will by regularly interfering not only in political affairs but in "the presidential election" under the Lee Myung Bak regime.

The IS deserves punishment as what it did is entirely an illegal act and a challenge to the people aspiring after democratization, it charged.

The authorities' decision not to detain Won Se Hun is aimed to conceal the truth about the Intelligence Service's interference in political affairs and "presidential election", it held, and continued:

They dropped their stand to detain and investigate Won because of the exercise of power by the minister of Justice.

The statement demanded that a thoroughgoing probe be made into the truth about the Intelligence Service's illegal acts and it be held accountable for them.
