Executed publisher cleared after 47 years

A young newspaper publisher who was executed in 1961 for collaborating with North Korea has been acquitted by Seoul court. Jo Yong-su, founder of the Minjok Ilbo (People's Newspaper), was 32 when he was convicted by a military court of setting up the popular paper with North Korean financial support and being a member of pro-Pyongyang underground organisations. Now a court has declared that it was untrue. He was innocent. (Via Korea Times)
