S. Korean Body Demands Release of Prisoners of Conscience

Pyongyang, July 27 (KCNA) -- The "Joint Action for Release of Prisoners of Conscience, Amnesty and Reinstatement" composed of 15 human rights organizations and civic and social organizations of south Korea held a press conference in Seoul on July 24, according to the south Korean internet paper Voice of People.

Noting that there are hundreds of prisoners of conscience who were detained under the false charges of violation of the "Security Law" and other evil laws against human rights, the body demanded the south Korean authorities release prisoners of conscience who launched actions for independence, democracy, peace and right to existence.
