Two Korean teachers are arrested under national security law for posting North Korean materials on Korea Teachers and Education Workers’ Union (KTU) website. According to KTU, the reason for the arrest is “they possessed and distributed materials concerned with sungun politics (North Korean politics in which military takes precedence over any other concern.”

The crazy part of this arrest is that the images are posted on the website are already available from the Ministry of Education. The Ministry run Internet Peace School and has been encouraging schools to use of images for unification education.
