Acquittal of Chairman of KCTU Demanded
Pyongyang, February 4 (KCNA) -- The Seoul Central District Court of south Korea held a trial of Han Sang Gyun, chairman of the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), on Jan. 29.

Last year the police issued a warrant of arrest for him for the mere reason that he led an illegal demonstration and arrested him in December by hurling a huge repressive force.

At the trial his counsel said that Han just participated in a rally and had never made any conspiracy in an illegal rally and demonstration.

A clash occurred between police and participants in the rally in those days because police were the first to throw a cordon with buses on the scene of the demonstration, it held.
