SEOUL, March 6 (Yonhap) -- A former military officer was sentenced to a suspended prison term on Tuesday for running a pro-North Korea Internet community in violation of a law banning content and activities that extol the communist country.

The Seoul Central District Court delivered the two-year term, suspended for three years, to the former Army officer, surnamed Bang, for leading the Internet cafe and uploading 379 postings there in favor of the North's communist rule between 2010 and 2011.
