The World - News from Jan. 8, 1985

More than 100 South Korean policemen surrounded the suburban Seoul home of dissident Kim Young Sam and then withdrew about 2 1/2 hours later, one of Kim’s aides said. He reported that an officer at the scene said the action was taken “just for an anti-crime measure.” However, a senior police officer had visited Kim’s home the night before to warn that force might be used to keep him from continuing his political activities. Kim, 57, leader of the now-outlawed New Democratic Party, is one of 15 people who are barred from participating in politics until June, 1988, under a law that was enacted in 1980.
