Park, Jung-geun's (@seouldecadence) RT of N.Korean account violates The National Security Law of S.Korea

Park, Jung-geun (photographer & Socialist Party member) is jailed by violation of The National Security Law. S.Korean prosecutor accused that he re-tweets N.Korean account's tweets and writes several articles for promoting N.Korea. But people argues this decision disturbs freedom of speech.

  1. Park Jung-geun @seouldecadence has been arrested for retweeting North Korean tweets. Surely such an arrest is a world first.
  2. S. Korean Twitterian @seouldecadence was arrested for retwitting a twit from a N Korean id @uriminzok. Reason: violation of #NSA.
  3. [Photo] Park, Jung-geun (@seouldecadence) is in a custody.

  10. A South Korean citizen who retweeted North Korean Newspaper's mention was arrested today with violating the National Security Law. Ha!
  11. The prosecuter cast suspicion on being a spy, according to "National Security Law", but he wasn't a spy. Only he did was "RETWEET".
  12. A man was put into custody for simply RT-ing a mention in SOUTH Korea! Shame on Korean prosecution. Shame on National Security Law.
  13. Innovative use of national security law in Korea: Retweet North Korean propaganda, get thrown in jail. #MBFail reaches new lows once again.
  14. 우리민족끼리 글을 알티만 했는데. 검찰이 박정근씨를 구속했어요. 쩐다. 리춘희 조선중앙통신 아나운서 뉴스 그대로 국민에게 전파한 방송3사 보도국장도 곧 잡혀가겠네요.
  15. [Translation] (He) just retweeted Uri-Min-Zok-Kki-Ri (but) prosecutors detained Park Jung-Geun. Oh Dear. Chief news directors of three S.Korean TV stations will be arrested beause they directly shown NK news coverage (when Kim Jeong-Il died).
  16. 변호사에게 들은 이야기로는, 판사도 박정근의 트윗들이 농담이라는 건 이해하고 있는 분위기였다고 합니다. 국보법 문제는 이미 진정성 운운이 통하는 문제가 아닙니다.
