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 the Imjinkak pavilion, near the demilitarised zone (DMZ) separating the two Koreas in Paju, about 55 km (34 miles) north of Seoul, March 17, 2009. The activists, who demanded improvements in North Korea's human rights and the release of South Koreans abducted by the North, launched about 100,000 anti-Pyongyang leaflets on Tuesday. The balloons read: "Abolish North Korea's nuclear weapons and missiles" (2nd R); "Overthrow Kim Jong-il's dictatorship" (2nd L); and "Stop taking South Koreans hostage" (L). The names of activist groups are printed on the other balloons. REUTERS/Jo Yong-Hak (SOUTH KOREA POLITICS MILITARY CONFLICT IMAGE OF THE DAY TOP PICTURE)
