LOL,A South Korean activist , Lee Min-bok, says he had flown thousands of copies of controversial The Interview over the North Korean border.
He told CNN that he had defied threats from the North to release thousands of DVDs of the film, attached to helium balloons, on four occasions since January.
The Seth Rogen comedy, about a fictional CIA plot to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, enraged Pyongyang.
Sony initially pulled the film after a hacking attack and threats to attack cinemas which were screening it.
But it changed its mind and gave the film a limited cinema release after being accused of responding to an attack on free speech.
The FBI says North Korea was behind the hack and threats, though it denies this.
He told AFP news agency: “I launched thousands of copies and about a million leaflets on Saturday, near the western part of the border.”
He said the launches were all done in remote areas and without publicity but that the police “would have no right to stop me”.
The South Korean government has said it is unable to force Mr Lee and other defectors to halt the balloon launches as it is a matter of free speech.
Just knowing how much effort the North Korean government has put into stopping ‘The Interview’ being seen by its citizens has encouraged Mr Lee to carry out the launches.
“The regime hates this film because it shows Kim Jong-un as a man, not a god,” Mr Lee said.
“He cries and is afraid like us, and then he is assassinated.”
The controversial comedy, starring Seth Rogan and James Franco, triggered outrage in Pyongyang for a fictional plotline that saw two television journalists sent to assassinate the North Korean leader.
