The statement referred to the fact that the Supreme Court dismissed the final appeal made by Chairman Ri Kyu Jae, former Secretary General Ri Kyong Won and former Chairperson in charge of information service Choe Un A of the South Headquarters of Pomminryon, on the same day and chided this action on behalf of all the compatriots.

The statement went on:

The Supreme Court upheld the judgment of guilty already passed on them by invoking the "Security Law". This is a reckless action against the nation and reunification.

A particular mention should be made of the fact that the daughter of the "yusin" dictator is running for "the presidential" election and justifying the May 16 military coup and fascist dictatorship. This is a grave act of treachery, indeed.

Keeping pace with her campaign, the Ministry of Defense issued such educational guidelines as "forces following the north are the enemy of the 'ROK' army" to its units. Conservative media including Chosun Ilbo, Choongang Ilbo and Dong-A Ilbo and government-controlled broadcasting services are kicking up "a racket against the forces following the north" by releasing misinformation.

The statement called for judging the treacherous and anti-reunification sycophantic forces and getting the SL repealed without fail.
