NIS surveillance on citizens

Lee Sang-ho, an advisor to a progressive civic group based in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, holds a news conference at the National Assembly, Sunday, to claim that the National Intelligence Service has illegally monitored him. He alleged he had been watched by a man for days, who the spy agency admitted was its staffer on a mission to check Lee’s possible violation of the National Security Law.
