S. Korean Public Security Authorities' Suppression under Fire

Pyongyang, June 20 (KCNA) -- Members of the south Korean civic and public organizations including the National Council for the Promotion of the Reunification by Federal Formula, the Solidarity for Progress and the People's Solidarity for the Repeal of the "National Security Law" held a press conference in Seoul on June 17 to denounce the puppet public security authorities for their dastardly suppression racket.

Speakers at the press conference recalled that at dawn on June 14 the public security authorities arrested members of the national council.

They noted that the security authorities have kept two of them in custody in an "anti-communist section room" in Seoul and investigated them on suspicion of "forming and joining in enemy-benefiting organization", "producing and distributing materials benefiting enemies", etc.

Such moves are prompted by the south Korean authorities' intention to reverse the situation by dint of the "National Security Law" amid the people's rising criticism of their driving the inter-Korean relations to the brink of war with the case of sinking of warship "Cheonan" as a momentum, they held.

Saying that they would conduct a widespread struggle with the people to get the "NSL" repealed, they urged the authorities to immediately stop all sorts of intrigues.
