Ex-N. Korean Soldiers to Form Anti-P’yang Group

SEPTEMBER 06, 2010 13:27

North Korean defectors in South Korea will form a coalition to support anti-Pyongyang activities in conjunction with military officials in the North opposed to the communist regime

The coalition plans to release at its inaugural ceremony Thursday the content of a phone conversation that demonstrates its links with ranking officials in the North Korean People’s Army.

The North Korean People’s Liberation Front, which comprises North Korean defectors who served in the Stalinist country’s military, said Sunday that it will hold the coalition’s first ceremony Thursday in front of the Korea Alliance of Progressive Movements headquarters in Seoul’s western district of Yeongdeungpo.

The coalition is chaired by Kim Sung-min, the head of Free North Korea Radio and a former captain in the North Korean military. More than 200 defectors who were in the North’s military have joined the group.

The coalition says it is different from other defector groups because it will conduct an anti-Pyongyang campaign in collaboration with active military officials in the North who oppose North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.

I hear the chief ‘jerk’ in charge is retiring and his younger son is taking over, didn’t he go to schools in the east? Wonder if change will come because of this, not holding my breath but it would be nice.

There was a similar organization launched by a former N. Korean special force officer. I wonder what happen to the organization. Not clear if it merged to this new one or is still going in separate way.
