The Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea in its information bulletin No. 967 on Tuesday denounced it as an unpardonable anti-reunification and treacherous crime intended to foster the fascist terror-ridden situation under the pretext of security in south Korea in a bid to calm down the ever-mounting desire of the people of different circles for reconciliation and cooperation between the north and the south and independent reunification and escalate confrontation between compatriots.

The information bulletin says:

The anti-reunification ultra-right conservatives of south Korea are now distorting the past discussions and contacts for reunification between the youth and students from the north and the south as a "lever for receiving directives" from someone and making a false report that "all kinds of data related to the student movement were delivered to the north." This goes to prove again that they are persistently seeking to obliterate the reunification movement of youth and students in south Korea.

It is also little different from an open declaration that in order to attain its ulterior political aims the puppet group will brand as spies all of those who visited the north and met compatriots there in the past years and incriminate their activities as "illegal" and "enemy-benefiting" to make them target of fascist suppression.

Worse still, such conspiratorial farce called the spying case was orchestrated again some days before an international meeting in south Korea. This more clearly revealed that the south Korean ruling conservative forces have no willingness to have dialogue and improve the relations between the north and the south but intend to stir up the international anti-DPRK opinion and confront with the DPRK to the last.

Neither national reconciliation and unity nor democratization of society and the independent reunification of the country can be expected unless the anti-DPRK smear campaign is decisively checked and the fascist repressive moves terminated immediately in south Korea.
