Watching fascist gangsters dragging Ro like a piece of luggage over TV, we could see through the vicious and despicable nature of the south Korean fascist ruling system, the statement said.

The attitude of the south Korean puppet group goes to prove that it is a group of the most ferocious fascist dictators in the world, separatists against the reunification of Korea and extremists hostile to the DPRK, it noted, adding their atrocities are aimed at cracking down on the pro-reunification patriotic forces and blocking the peaceful reunification of Korea.

It demanded the south Korean authorities set free at once Ro Su Hui, Rev. Han Sang Ryol and all other detained pro-reunification patriots and abolish the reactionary "Security Law".

It called for a large-scale international movement for the release of Ro.

Meanwhile, the Staffordshire, Britain, Branch of the Korean Friendship Association issued a similar statement on July 9.
