Former North Korean defectors and anti-North Korea activists release balloons carrying anti-North Korea leaflets and North Korean won banknotes towards the north at Imjingak pavilion, near the demilitarised zone separating the two Koreas in Paju, about 55 km (34 miles) north of Seoul June 15, 2009, on the occasion of the 9th anniversary of the June 15 Summit between former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, and the 10th anniversary of the first naval clash between the two Koreas in the Yellow Sea. The activists denounced the North's nuclear test and released about 100,000 anti-Pyongyang leaflets on Monday. The balloons read, "Free North Koreans" (1st L), "Abolish nuclear weapons and missiles" (2nd R) and "Return Mr. Yoo (who is being detained by North Korea)" (1st R).
