The puppet group created a terror-ridden atmosphere by massively hurling puppet forces in full military gear into the south side's portion in Panmunjom and setting in motion gangster-like hangmen of the Intelligence Service (IS) and the Ministry of Unification specializing in oppressing the pro-reunification patriots. They did not hesitate to commit such a barbarous crime as taking away Ro like an animal with his neck, arms and legs tightly held just as he crossed the demarcation line. They carried Ro to the Phaju Police Station in Kyonggi Province to inquire him, not allowing him to go home.

What is more intolerable is that the puppet group of traitors bribed such wicked and mean human scum as those of the "alliance of the elders" and the "society of families of south Korean abductees" to hold "protest rallies" at the entrance of the "Unification Bridge" in Phaju City of Kyonggi Province and made no scruple of perpetrating such hideous provocation as hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK.

Timed to coincide with their provocative acts, ultra-right conservative media including Chosun Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo and Daily NK have vied with each other to make invectives against Ro's visit to Pyongyang, claiming that he praised the DPRK and denounced the Lee Myung Bak "government".

They also forcibly searched Ro's house and the office room of the Pomminryon South Headquarters and arrested its secretary general without warrant.

The puppet group of traitors did not hesitate to commit such thrice-cursed crimes as daring hurt the supreme leadership of the DPRK again with Ro's return as an occasion, bringing to bolder relief their true colors as confrontational maniacs. All these facts go to clearly prove once again that they are, indeed, fascist hooligans, brutes in human form and worst villains hell-bent on escalating confrontation with fellow countrymen.

The Pomminryon North Headquarters vehemently condemns the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors for their on-going vicious anti-DPRK confrontation and fascist crackdown on it, labeling them as another intolerable grave challenge to it and treacherous and anti-reunification criminal acts destroying the nation's reconciliation and unity and inciting confrontation with compatriots.

Ro's Pyongyang visit was a token of due courtesy prompted by the desire to share sorrow over the great loss to the nation as a member of the Korean nation and achieve national unity and reunification and an entirely righteous and heroic action that deserve admiration by all Koreans in view of the traditional beautiful manners and customs of the Korean nation and the spirit of national reconciliation and unity. This can never be a crime.

It is none other than the Lee Myung Bak group of worst traitors that deserves punishment because it leveled guns at the fellow countrymen mourning over the big loss to the nation and barred south Koreans of many political parties and organizations and individuals from paying condolatory visits to Pyongyang.

The Pan-national Alliance for Korea's Reunification is a tripartite solidarity organization common to the nation recognized at home and abroad as it reflects the unanimous desire for reunification of Koreans in the north and the south and overseas. It has permitted its leading members to discuss the issues related to reunification, irrespective of their residing places, and done a lot of work for independence and peaceful reunification in the June 15 era.

But the Lee Myung Bak fascist dictatorial "government", an anti-reunification regime, has branded the Pomminryon South Headquarters as forces following the north, stamping out freedom of the movement for reunification and bringing its members to prisons and courts almost every day. Not content with this, the regime is imposing all sorts of inhuman molestation and suppression upon them, depriving them of even elementary human rights.

Rare to be found in the world are such despicable confrontation maniacs as the Lee Myung Bak group which barred Ro from going back to the south via Panmunjom. His Pyongyang visit was very just as he shared sorrow with fellow countrymen in the north over the great loss to the nation and took part in the events for reunification with them.

The group was so disgusting as to ask the U.S. aggression forces in south Korea to let persons concerned of the "UN Command" issue through a loudspeaker from the morning a warning against Ro Su Hui's approach to Panmunjom.

The group's brutal suppression of Ro admits of no excuse because it already knew that south Korean people of different circles including members of the South Headquarters of Pomminryon were awaiting for Ro to welcome his return through Panmunjom.

Now people in the north who gave Ro Su Hui warm hospitality and good send-off are hardly repressing their resentment at the barbarous crime committed by the puppet gangsters in Panmunjom.

The army and people of the DPRK are replete with the will to wipe out conservative group including the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors which perpetrated such a hideous provocation as daring hurt again the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK.

The Lee group will never be able to escape a stern punishment as it committed an indelible treason before the nation.

Organizations at all levels and people of south Korea should turn out as one in a nationwide struggle to get the notorious "Security Law" abolished, secure the release of pro-reunification patriotic champions including Ro Su Hui, make a clean sweep of the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors and open a fresh phase for independent reunification.
