Nu is censuur wellicht iets wat je eerder van Noord-Korea zou verwachten (en domweg vrijwel niemand toegang tot internet geven is dan uiteraard een uiterst effectieve methode), maar ook in Zuid-Korea komt het wel degelijk voor. Nu is de website van 's werelds grootste reisorganisatie voor Noord-Korea, het Engelse Koryo Tours, door de autoriteiten geblokkeerd omdat de site pro-Pyongyang zou zijn:

> **S.Korea blocks N.Korean tour website**

> SEOUL - A BRITISH-RUN travel agency which specialises in tours to North Korea disclosed on Monday that South Korea was blocking its website because of alleged pro-Pyongyang material.

> Beijing-based Koryo Tours described the ban as ‘disproportionate and unjust’. But a Seoul official said the action, in force since late January, would continue until changes were made in its content.

> Koryo Tours has been promoting tourism and cultural exchanges with North Korea since 1993.

> It said Seoul had blocked access on South Korean servers to its company website, with the addresses [www.koryogroup.com](http://www.koryogroup.com) and [www.koryotours.com](http://www.koryotours.com), at the request of the National Intelligence Service (NIS).

> This was on the grounds that the content violated the South’s National Security Act and other laws banning ‘propagandist’ information about the North.

> The tour company said in a statement its site was also seen as breaching a law banning South Koreans from contacting or visiting the North without permission. – AFP
