(National) “North Korea’s Espionage Activities After Receiving Orders.” The second trial of North Chungcheong Dongjee was commuted.

The Cheongju Tribunal of the Daejeon High Court quashed the original trial, which sentenced A, the chairman of the Chungbuk Association, to 12 years in prison for violating the national security law, and sentenced him to two years in prison.

In addition, two members of the organization charged with the same charge were also reduced from twelve to five years in prison.

The court ruled that it was difficult to say that the Chungbuk Association actually had a size or system that could be classified as a criminal organization, and that it had not been sufficiently proven that it had organized a criminal organization that continued to commit crimes.

They are accused of carrying out security-threatening activities such as tracking national secrets and gathering domestic circumstances after founding the Independent Unification Chungbuk Association on the orders of North Korean agents in 2017.
