Quote:
The case was brought by Lim Soo-kyoung, a controversial figure who was imprisoned for three years after an illegal visit to North Korea in 1989. She filed a complaint against 25 people for making allegedly offensive comments on Web sites about a news report on her son's drowning death in the Philippines.

Among the thousands of comments were remarks scoffing at the death and using insulting language in reference to Lim's past history with the North.

Prosecutors have called for summary judgment against all 25 defendants, who will be charged with criminal contempt or slander and face a fine of 1 million won (US$1,030; euro865), said Seok Dong-hyun, a Seoul city prosecutor in charge of the case.
