He recalled that some days ago, the "Intelligence Service" and the police jointly conducted a wholesale search and seizure and arrest operation against the South Headquarters of Pomminryon and are stretching the tentacles of suppression to youth organizations, too.

He held that the Lee Myung Bak "government," much upset by the candlelight actions last year, is seeking a way of stifling the progressive camp in fabricating a "spy case."

He went on to say:

As the Lee regime failed in its plot to label the Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration "an organization linked with a spy," it is now keen to brand the said headquarters as "a large organization linked with a spy" at any cost.

The authorities are now regarding all the overseas Koreans related to the South Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration as "spies" and expanding the scope of investigation to the south Korean organizations for the reunification movement which have got in touch with them, he pointed out, and went on:

The suppression of the said headquarters precisely means a negation of the June 15 joint declaration and an act to totally stamp out those forces supporting the declaration.

He called upon all the people to turn out in the struggle to judge the Lee Myung Bak "government" for intensifying its fascist suppression and driving the inter-Korean relations into collapse as the days go by.
