The editorial said it is the judgment of the defense counsel side that it would be difficult to charge a lawmaker from the Unified Progressive Party with the crime of suspicious attempt at the rebellion.

But the conservative media, which kept mum about the IS's interference in the election and the candlelight actions against it, widely reported unconfirmed data cooked up by the IS, the editorial said, and went on:

What is more surprising is that they presented such absurd reasoning as "following the north" and "pro-north" behind the approval of arrest on charges of plotting rebellion.

This shows that the typical witch-hunting campaign of those "following the north" is reoccurring.

Sympathizing with the approval of arrest engineered by the IS and being pushed forward by the "Saenuri Party" is tantamount to becoming an accomplice with the historical crimes.
