South Korea condemns North Korean leader's sister's remarks on trash balloons

01:12 Min

Seoul has slammed North Korean leader's powerful sister Kim Yo-jong's remarks on Pyongyang's move to send hundreds of balloons carrying trash towards South Korea. The senior North Korean official claims that it was a "present" for South Koreans who are crying for a guarantee for freedom of expression. Seoul has called her reasoning absurd and self-contradictory, as North Korea's right to freedom of speech is severely undermined due to tight surveillance from its government. It also warned that the act is a violation of the Armistice Agreement.
