Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- Jajuminbo, internet newspaper of south Korea, on Sept. 19 made public a statement assailing the conservative forces for threatening the newspaper.

The statement recalled that unidentified hooligans hacked its internet homepage to disturb its business and made ceaseless threatening phone calls on the newspaper.

These are mean behaviors of the conservative forces to bar media from reporting truth and let only their wrong assertions known, the statement said, and went on:

Gagging such media at a time when the regime is driving the south-north relations to a crisis by spreading misinformation about the north is an act of treachery intended to strain the situation.

The statement urged the conservative forces to stop at once their threat to the progressive media.
