The person posted on a website an article praising the peerlessly great men of Mt Paektu and called for reunifying the country through alliance with the north.

Earlier, the judiciary gave a three-year jail sentence to a father who was prosecuted on the suspicion of "espionage" during traitor Park Geun Hye's office.

Commenting on the facts, Rodong Sinmun says in a commentary Tuesday that it is an intolerable challenge to the mindset of the south Korean public who staged the candlelight struggle against the dictatorship and for new politics and life, and an anachronistic reckless act of swimming against the trend of the times towards the national reconciliation and unity and the reunification through alliance with the north.

The commentary goes on:

The south Korean authorities outwardly call for improved north-south ties but inwardly put those advocating independent reunification behind bars. This is an expression of their will for confrontation with the DPRK. In other words, it is little short of declaration of confrontation with the fellow countrymen in the north, indifferent to improving the north-south relations like the conservative forces.

If they truly wish the north-south relations to be improved, they should get rid of the confrontation policy of the predecessor and repeal the SL hostile to the fellow countrymen and set free the unreasonably detained pro-reunification champions.

Those who are hell-bent on the fascist dictatorship and confrontation, going against the public demand for independence, democracy and reunification are fated to face a stern punishment by history. This is proved by the miserable fate of Park Geun Hye.

The south Korean authorities had better stop their foolish acts, drawing a lesson from the tragic fate of Park.
