South Korea To Restart Propaganda Loudspeakers Along Border

Posted by timothy on from the wi-fi-hot-spots-weren't-working dept.

jones_supa writes: South Korea has said that it will resume anti-Pyongyang loudspeaker broadcasts this week along the heavily fortified border with North Korea in retaliation of Pyongyang's claimed hydrogen bomb test. The broadcasts will resume at noon on Friday, told Cho Tae-yong, deputy chief of the presidential office of national security. Cho added that South Korean troops maintain combat readiness and will sternly retaliate against North Korea if Pyongyang follows with a provocation. In August, South resumed the broadcasts for the first time in 11 years in retaliation for the North's land-mine attack that maimed two South Korean soldiers. The two sides later held days of intensive high-level talks and produced a deal in which South agreed to stop propaganda broadcasts unless an abnormal situation occurs. Which now did.

    Might constitute a war crime (torture, superfluous injury, unnecessary suffering), as technically they're still at war.

    Look, let's not go overboard, OK? I know, the set off a H-bomb, but we should be proportionate in our response.
