The Lee group seriously hurt the dignity of the DPRK and desperately blocked condolatory visits by south Korean people of different social standings, bringing into bolder relief its sinister intention to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK during the nation's mourning over the great loss, the statement noted, and went on:

The general association and all Koreans in China brand the Lee group's acts of rubbing salt into the wounds of the compatriots who bitterly cried, unable to keep back the sorrow over the untimely loss of the father of the nation as hideous crimes against the nation.

The group persistently blocked Pyongyang visits by south Koreans, snatched condolence messages and even defiled them and brutally suppressed those who set up incense-burning altars. These acts were thrice-cursed treacherous acts putting into the shade the treachery committed by the "civilian"-veiled fascist gang in the past. These crimes are, therefore, touching off towering resentment and hatred among all compatriots.

It was only the Lee group which did not hesitate to perpetrate such anti-reunification acts of inciting confrontation with compatriots as hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and scattering anti-DPRK leaflets, far from saying any word of mourning and condolences.

We together with the compatriots at home will force the Lee group to pay for the above-said crimes to the last.

The General Association of Koreans in China and all the Koreans in China will hold the supreme leader of the Korean people Kim Jong Un in high esteem as lodestar of national reunification and turn out as one in the drive to implement the last instructions of leader Kim Jong Il for national reunification.
