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 province and city.

The statement issued by a spokesman for the KPA Supreme Command was read out to be followed by speeches.

The speakers said that they could never pardon the rat-like Lee group who hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK by mobilizing elder reactionaries no better than paupers, gangster-like students and ultra-right conservative media persons.

The strong revolutionary armed forces of Mt. Paektu will search every rat hole and hang the whole rat-like Lee group, the sworn enemy, till all of them are dried up and perish, they declared.

The rat-like Lee group will bitterly experience what severe final punishment the merciless sacred war launched by the DPRK will mete out to them for the indelible crimes they have committed so far, they noted.

Service persons and people will beat to death the Lee group and blow up their bases for provocations and build on this land a reunified thriving nation shining with the august name of the great sun.

Then followed protest demonstrations.
