After weeks of investigation, a South Korean counterintelligence official stumbled upon a seemingly gibberish phrase in a document on a data storage device owned by a suspected spy that proved the key to unlocking directives from the North.
Prosecutors indicted four South Korean activists suspected of founding a pro-Pyongyang spy ring based in Changwon, South Gyeongsang, on charges of violating the National Security Law.
Four South Korean activists arrested earlier this month on charges of inciting sedition on orders from North Korea are refusing to cooperate with investigators from the state prosecution service, according to prosecution officials on Tuesday.
