Preparing items to send to North Korea

Members of a North Korean defectors' group promoting human rights in North Korea, put rice in plastic bottles and prepare face masks at a park in the Gangnam District of Seoul, Thursday. They are preparing to send the bottles to North Korea from Seogmo Island off Incheon this Sunday. The group plans to push ahead with sending the goods despite a government warning that it will ban such activities amid increasing inter-Korean tension following Pyongyang protesting South Korean activists sending propaganda leaflets and other items over the border.
