South Korean human rights activists release balloons with anti-North Korean leaflets attached at the Imjingak peace park in Paju, near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two Koreas on November 9, 2009. South Korean activists floated a large balloon carrying about 2,500 leaflets over the border, as well as smaller ones, attacking North Korea's leader across the world's last Cold War frontier, marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Newspapers earlier in the day urged Seoul's government to prepare in case the closely guarded frontier collapses as suddenly as the inter-German barrier did in 1989. AFP
