The National Police Agency submitted to government ministries Friday a list of organizations involved in illegal protests and violence.

This includes more than 1,800 civic organizations including members of the People's Association for Measures Against Mad Cow Disease, which hosted last summer's massive protests against the resumption of U.S. beef imports. A number of minor opposition parties such as the Korea Democratic Labor Party are also on the list.

The ministries will review the list to decide whether to continue government subsidies for them. The People's Association claims that the police only supports pro-government organizations and has no regard for public benefit.
