Pyongyang, August 6 (KCNA) -- The south Korean authorities are trying to implicate the DPRK in the "spy ring case", the largest-ever cooked up after the emergence of the present "government."

The Intelligence Service and police of south Korea kicked off an unprecedented repressive campaign, charging that progressive forces and those related to the reunification movement including the chief editor of magazine Minjok 21 and the representative of Chongchun, an Internet broadcasting service under the Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration, conducted "espionage" at the "instruction of the north".

This serious provocation revealed the fin de siecle symptom of the fascist group obsessed by confrontation with fellow countrymen.

The south Korean authorities are now finding themselves in a tight corner for the acts of treachery committed since they came to power. They seek to find a way-out of it in orchestrating a shocking "case."

The successive south Korean rulers have been engrossed in provoking the DPRK. Whenever they found themselves in crises, they cooked up anti-DPRK cases and used them for stoking hostility toward the fellow countrymen in the DPRK while escalating confrontation and war moves. This was their trite artifice.

This year the south Korean Court declared non-guilty Mr. Jo Pong Am, former leader of the Progressive Party, who was executed on the charge of his alleged involvement in "a spy ring case" 52 years ago. This was just part of tragedies showing the preposterous nature of "spy ring cases" and the like fabricated by the south Korean authorities.

At a time when the expectation for dialogue between the north and the south is running high, the south Korean puppet group is employing a hackneyed method, defying the requirement of the reality. This only brings into bolder relief their wretched plight of being mired by the worst ruling crisis.

The recent case brought to light the true colors of the puppet conservative group who stakes its fate on escalated confrontation with fellow countrymen.

It is quite natural that the south Koreans are denouncing the harsh suppression of the progressive forces and those related to the reunification movement as "hunting" of the ordinary people desirous of national reunification by dint of "the National Security Law."
