"Jo Guk Sent to Prosecution for Defamation by North Korean Defector Group Leader Claiming 'Jo Guk Executed North Korean Orders'"

Kim Heung-kwang, Representative of NK Intellectual Solidarity

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] The Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul announced on the 24th that it has sent Kim Heung-gwang, the head of the NK Intellectuals Solidarity, who claimed that former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk was carrying out North Korea's orders, to the prosecution on charges of defamation by spreading false information.

According to the police, Kim posted a video titled "The Secret Relationship Between Cho Kuk and North Korea" on his YouTube channel in September last year, making claims such as "Former Minister Cho Kuk will faithfully carry out three orders from North Korea" and "There is a reason why North Korea is promoting Cho Kuk as a presidential candidate."

Former Minister Cho filed a complaint against Kim at the Bangbae Police Station in Seoul in August this year, and the Yeongdeungpo Police Station took over the case and has been conducting an investigation.

Meanwhile, Kim served as the head of the Computer Department at Gongsan University before defecting from North Korea in 2004, and since 2008, he has been leading the NK Intellectuals Solidarity, gathering highly educated defectors from North Korea.
