The dignity of the supreme leadership of the nation is dearer than the lives of the Koreans in Japan who live, their chests thrown out, with the national pride of holding the great men of Mt. Paektu in high esteem, they noted, declaring that the Lee group deserves a severe punishment as it hurt the dignity and besmirched the compatriots' loyalty.

They stressed that the reunification of the country and prosperity of the nation can be achieved only when the rat-like group of traitors are beaten to death.

Officials of Chongryon and compatriots thrust a written protest to the puppet embassy.

It warned that the Lee group of traitors would be wiped out to the last man as they dared insult the great men of Mt. Paektu, benefactors of national resurrection, kind-hearted fathers of Koreans in Japan and protectors of their destinies.

And the participants staged a demonstration march.

Similar protests of Koreans in Japan were staged in front of the puppet consulates in Sapporo, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima and Fukuoka on April 26.
