There is no reason for Ro to be subject to crackdown as his Pyongyang visit was not only expression of a due courtesy to share sorrow with the north Koreans as a compatriot but a righteous and heroic action prompted by the patriotic desire to achieve national reconciliation and unity and bring earlier the country's reunification by efforts of the Korean nation, the statement said, and went on:

The puppet fascist group, however, pounced upon the aged pro-reunification patriotic champion who crossed the demarcation line in Panmunjom like a horde of mad dogs and committed an unethical violence which would make even an animal blush. Not content with this, they made no scruple of handcuffing him like a criminal and binding him up to put into custody.

The group of traitors is mulling persecuting Ro on charges of violation of the notorious "Security Law" while openly disclosing its undisguised attempt to stamp out all the progressive organizations for reunification movement of south Korea including the Pomminryon South Headquarters.

This clearly proves that "human rights", "democracy" and "co-existence and co-prosperity", lip-service of the group, are nothing but hypocrisy and sophism to cover up its despicable traitorous, unpopular and anti-reunification nature.

The group is facing an irrevocable and serous ruling crisis due to its hideous crimes committed before the nation. Now it is making desperate efforts to seek a way out in escalating confrontation with the DPRK to the extremes, kicking up the madcap racket for "eliminating the forces following the north" and establishing the sycophantic and treacherous military nexus with outsiders.

The more the group of traitors makes desperate efforts, the fiercer the south Koreans will become in resisting it.

The June 15 joint declaration, a signpost of reunification, reflects the faith and will of all Koreans that can be oppressed neither by handcuff nor by bayonet.

All the Koreans are sure to mete out a stern punishment to traitor Lee Myung Bak, a pro-U.S. and pro-Japanese lackey, keen on fascist dictatorship and confrontation with fellow countrymen.
