A North Korean refugee flew a giant balloon carrying Covid-19 aid and posters across the border despite warnings of a deadly attack on his activities.

About 20 shipments of 20,000 masks and tens of thousands of Tylenol and vitamin C tablets were recently shipped from a border town in South Korea.

Park Sang-hak said one of his on-air messages read, “Let’s get rid of Kim Jong-un and (his sister) Kim Yo-jong,” along with a photo of them.

Park, who survived an assassination attempt and was attacked last month by a man armed with metal pipes, filled himself with helium with numerous anti-Pyongyang pamphlets depicting the Kim family’s authoritarian rule for years.

The latest cross-border flight took place despite alarmed North Korean officials claiming that masks and other health products caused the country’s coronavirus outbreak.

According to the activists, this time no further propaganda statements were made apart from the “eradication” message.

North Korean officials are angry about their work, and Kim Yo-jong, Supreme Leader Kim’s powerful sister, said last month that North Korea would retaliate against “South Korean authorities” if they continued to remove “garbage” from their neighborhoods. . country.

Days after the warning, the perpetrators attacked Park with a steel pipe at a rally in Seoul, breaking the activist’s hand.

The man was arrested by police and Park believes that North Korea ordered North Korean forces to attack his group in their new country.

In an assassination attempt in 2011, South Korean authorities arrested a North Korean agent who tried to kill Mr. Park with a ballpoint pen containing a poisoned needle.

He also faced pressure from Seoul.

Last year, South Korea’s former liberal government, seeking to improve relations with North Korea, implemented a controversial new law that criminalized private leafleting campaigns.

Park was fined a suspended fine of 3 million won (£1,900) for a previous flight.

He also said police were investigating Park’s activities after he sent a drug-laden balloon across the border in July.

Video footage now appears to show it still flying around North Korea, but they have not been detected.

North Korea is highly sensitive to media campaigns and other outside efforts critical of the Kim family’s authoritarian rule, and foreign news is inaccessible to most people in the country.

In 2014, North Korea shot down a ballistic missile that flew into its territory and in 2020 it destroyed an empty liaison office built by South Korea in North Korea to vent its anger at the leaflets.
