September 26. 2023.		Constitutional Court of South Korea	Freedom of expression	The Constitutional Court of South Korea held that a law which criminalized sending anti-Pyeongyang leaflets through ballons from South- to North Korea was nullified as unconstitutional.	A law was passed in South Korea at the end of 2020. to criminalize sending anti-Pyeongyang leaflets through ballons from South- to North Korea. The South Korean campaign in North Korea caused remarkable tensions between the two countries and undermined the security of South Korean persons living in the border zone. The North Korean Government accused its southern counterpart that the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in North Korea was also caused by these leaflets. The Constitutional Court of South Korea ruled that this law excessively restricted freedom of expression, therefore it was annulled as unconstitutional.				https://thediplomat.com/2023/09/south-koreas-constitutional-court-strikes-down-law-banning-anti-pyongyang-leafleting/
