This is a blatant challenge of the dictatorship enforced under the signboard of "pragmatism" to justice and truth and an unpardonable fascist action taken to suppress and stamp out the pro-reunification patriotic forces in south Korea calling for independence, democracy and reunification. Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says this in a signed commentary.

It says:

It has become an irresistible trend of the times to follow the Juche idea and the Songun politics in south Korea. The activities of the organization are very just as they reflected the aspiration and wishes of the people and they can never be incriminated.

What should not be overlooked is that the repressive action was taken against the organization at a time when the inter-Korean relations have been pushed again to a catastrophic phase due to the reckless acts on the part of the anti-reunification forces in south Korea including the "Ministry of Unification".

The south Korean fascist authorities imposed the above-said penalties upon them at last by linking them with the DPRK after labeling them "enemy-benefiting elements," not content with persecuting them. This once again lays bare the anti-reunification nature of the present south Korean ruling forces seeking only confrontation with compatriots, not improved inter-Korean relations.

The south Korean authorities would be well advised to stop at once the unwarranted suppression of them, mindful that any crackdown upon the pro-reunification patriotic forces amounts to an unpardonable crime against the country and the nation.
