The statement recalled that on Feb. 8 the south Korean Seoul Central District Court sentenced Ro Su Hui, vice-chairman of the South Headquarters of Pomminryon, to four years in prison and four years of suspension of qualification and its Secretary General Won Jin Uk to three years in prison and three years of suspension of qualification by invoking the ill-famed "Security Law".

The SL, the worst law in the world, is an unethical one against human rights which is aimed to violate and restrain the freedom of thinking, conscience, assembly and demonstration, it noted.

Ro's consolatory visit was promoted by the will to express his deep condolences over the greatest loss to the fellow countrymen as a member of the same nation, share the sorrow with those in the north and open the way of the national reconciliation, unity and reunification, it said, and went on:

His visit was very just in view of ethics and morality and beautiful manners and customs of the Korean people that had been handed down through generations as well as in the light of national reconciliation and unity.

Passing prison terms on Won who should receive medical treatment in stable conditions as a cancer patient is an unjust judgment as it denied even the elementary human rights.

It stressed that Pomminryon will wage a joint action to implement the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration, have the SL abolished and set free the prisoners of conscience defying the fascist suppression by the south Korean authorities.
