The editorial recalled that the security authorities hurled repressive force into searching the house of Choe Po Gyong, a teacher of Sansong County, South Kyongsang Province, and his office and are making desperate efforts to give him the verdict of guilty on charge of violation of the "Security Law".

The Supreme Court admitted that his belongings could not threaten the "basic order of liberal democracy" and gave him a verdict of "not guilty", it said, adding:

Despite the decision of not guilty, the conservative forces made an appeal to a higher court and have inflicted upon him psychological stress and unbearable pain upon his family over the past seven years.

His educational activities for peace and reunification have been hamstrung. This is the deplorable reality of south Korea under the reign of the fascist law.

The editorial called upon all the people to turn out in the actions to have the SL abrogated.
