Rodong Sinmun Friday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:

Lee's hue and cry over the "human right" issue of the DPRK is nothing but a groundless mud-slinging at the dignified socialist system in the DPRK.

The "human right" issue does not exist and such thing can never be in the DPRK as it fully provides an institutional guarantee for the independent right of the working people, the commentary notes, and goes on:

South Korea is the horrible tundra of human rights as it has turned into a living hell where human dignity and right are mercilessly trampled down. No wonder, the majority of the students of middle and high schools in south Korea said they wished to live in foreign countries, extremely disillusioned with the society. It is Lee and his group that have reduced south Korea to an area unfit for human habitation.

Clear is the aim sought by Lee in soliciting even before U.S. congressmen for cooperation in the anti-DPRK smear campaign over its "human rights" issue, not content with staging such racket in south Korea and abroad by setting in motion vicious conservative elements and despicable human scum. This is aimed at realizing the nonsensical dream of "achieving the unification of system" at any cost.

The Lee group is getting frantic with such noisy anti-DPRK campaign though it is more dead than alive, set to face a judgment of people. Needless to say, it is hordes of thrice-cursed traitors whom the nation cannot live under the same sky as it seeks a way out in confrontation with compatriots.
