The South Korean government on Tuesday dismissed the appeal to unblock a North Korea technology-focused website, which was blocked for violating the nation’s law against pro-North Korean activities.

The Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCSC) has blocked access to North Korea Tech since March 24, as requested by the National Intelligence Service (NIS), South Korea’s Media Today reported.

The South Korean civil organization Open Net filed an appeal but three of five members of the commission voted to dismiss it. Those three are recommended by the government and ruling party, while two are recommended by the opposition party.
