Present there were officials of local 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 and city.

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

The speakers called for wiping out the rat-like Myung Bak group to the last man as it again dared hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK dearer than their own lives, not content with committing the thrice-cursed high treason during the period of mourning the great loss to the nation.

Intolerable are the crimes rat-like Lee committed by setting in motion aged reactionaries no better than paupers, gangster-like students and ultra-right conservative media persons to recklessly shake their fists towards the Heaven, they declared, and went on:

Lee going reckless, not fearful of Heaven, exactly looks like an underwit and a rat.

It is the invariable will and mode of retaliation of the army and people of the DPRK to react to any provocation with strong punishment and to a war with a merciless retaliatory sacred war.

No matter how desperately rats may squeak and no matter how noisily rabid dogs may bark, they can never hurt the sun. The army of Mt. Paektu which shows no mercy will search every hole crowded with groups of rats going desperate and kill them with sharp bayonets.

Then followed protest demonstrations.
