Lee Myung Bak Group Accused of Causing Tragedy in Ryongsan
Pyongyang, February 14 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Central Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea on Saturday issued a statement in which it, in the name of the entire working class of the DPRK, bitterly denounced the killing of evacuees in Ryongsan as a tragedy caused by the Lee Myung Bak group's fascist dictatorial rule and unpopular misrule and a hideous human rights abuse.

It is intolerable that the Lee group is shifting the responsibility for the recent tragedy onto the slain evacuees, the statement noted, and continued:

Right after the occurrence of the incident, the group of traitors was busy defending the murderers, talking about what it called "investigation" and "clarification." It instructed the puppet prosecution to announce the hypocritical results of the investigation, thus taking such outrageous action as declaring the real killers "not guilty" while bringing charges against the dead and the participants in the sit-in strike.

Moreover, the group is mobilizing police force to indiscriminately cracking down upon people from all walks of life who demanded a thorough probe into the tragedy in Ryongsan and the downfall of the Lee's man-killing regime, the arch criminal.

The reality goes to prove that traitor Lee Myung Bak is a fascist dictator and ferocious murderer who has turned south Korea into a barren land where the people are suffering destitution, a graveyard of democracy and human rights and a dark society under fascism during the first year of his office.

The entire working class in the DPRK expresses full support and solidarity with the workers and all other people in south Korea in their just actions for the punishment of the killers of evacuees.
