Present there were officials of party and power organs and working people's organizations, service personnel of the Korean People's Army and the Korean People's Internal Security Forces, people of different social standings and youth and students in the provinces.

The statement issued by a spokesman for the KPA Supreme Command was read out to be followed by speeches by representatives of service personnel, workers, agricultural workers, youth and students and women.

The speakers labeled rat-like Lee Myung Bak as a typical underwit and imbecile as he described the DPRK's launch of satellite as a product of "arms race". Lee learned craftiness and disposition as a waste dealer in Japan when he was young and now has become a special class stooge of the U.S. and Japanese masters, they said.

It is a shame for the service personnel and people of the DPRK to wrest an apology from the rat-like Lee too feeble to be beaten and trodden to death, the speakers added.

Describing Lee as a disgusting rat inside the dumping group, they declared that he had better leave this world, though belatedly, as demanded by the people.

The nation will not escape misfortune, much less seeing the improved north-south relations, as long as rat- like Lee who considers confrontation with his fellow countrymen as the way of existence is allowed to stay in power, they stated, and went on:

The aged reactionaries no better than paupers going reckless like a tiger moths, patronized by rat-like Lee group, gangster-like students, human scum, as well as the ultra-right conservative media can never escape the merciless strikes by the army of Mt. Paektu.

It is the top principle of the DPRK to devotedly protect the leader and it does not allow any slightest compromise. The Lee group more dead than alive will face a final severe punishment.

Then followed protest demonstrations.
