Minju Joson Tuesday observes this in a signed commentary.

It accuses the above-said court of suppressing Hanchong in linkage with the DPRK while asserting that what Hanchong has done was at the "instructions" from somebody though it has always conducted just activities for the implementation of the inter-Korean joint declarations and for the independence and democracy of the south Korean society and the country's reunification reflecting the will of the young people.

It goes on:

Hanchong has never acted at the "instructions" of someone but worked hard to realize the will of the south Korean youth and other people of south Korea. This being a hard fact, the puppets talked about "instructions." This only betrayed the sinister intention to totally stamp out the progressive pro-reunification forces including the youth and students of south Korea under the pretext of any linkage with the DPRK.

The above-said decision made by the court against Hanchong goes to prove that the treacherous and anti-reunification nature of the Lee group reviving the fascist dictatorship and pursuing the confrontation with fellow countrymen remains unchanged and hints at its intention to further intensify the crackdown upon the progressive pro-reunification movement organizations.

The present reality clearly indicates that the south Korean people will meet greater disasters and the inter-Korean relations further deteriorate than now unless the Lee group is thrown overboard.

The Lee group's fascist suppression and its moves to escalate the confrontation with fellow countrymen would only precipitate its self-destruction.
