The families of the abductees are sending leaflets to North Korea today...Concern of Conflict in Residents

While a family group of abductees announced today (31st) that it would openly spray leaflets against North Korea, opposition rallies are also predicted, raising concerns about clashes.

The abductees' family group said it would send 50,000 leaflets containing the names and photos of South Koreans and Japanese abductees to North Korea in front of the "National Korean War abductees Memorial" in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, at 10 a.m. today.

At the same time, civic groups opposing the spraying of leaflets against North Korea will also stage a rally against the peace crisis and Paju City's leadership.

Accordingly, the police plan to deploy more than 1,000 experienced people, including the Gyeonggi Northern Police Agency and Paju Police Station, to control the two sides from colliding.

In addition, Gyeonggi Province, which previously set the entire city of Paju as a dangerous zone and banned the distribution of leaflets to the North, will send special judicial police to confiscate the leaflets.
