According to the ultimatum, the puppet group instigated gangsters to set ablaze portraits of the peerlessly great men in the downtown Seoul on the Day of the Sun (April 15), President Kim Il Sung's birthday.

The crime was committed not long after the firing exercises targeting the DPRK Flag and the dignity of the DPRK supreme leadership and the attempted plot to bring down statues in the DPRK in the period of the traitor Lee Myung Bak's regime.

Not different from the previous regime, the current south Korean regime has fostered heinous crimes aimed at doing harm to the dignity of the DPRK supreme leadership, in collusion with the United States.

Ro Su Ik, a citizen living in Sunchon City, South Phyongan Province, told KCNA:

"It is foolish for the group of traitors to try to undermine the single-minded unity with such despicable politically-motivated terrorism.

They will never understand the DPRK people's will to devotedly defend the supreme dignity."

Pang Chol Bom, a citizen living in Hamhung City, South Hamgyong Province, said:

"I can hardly repress my resentment at the indelible crime committed by the gangsters at the connivance of the puppet regime. It is as good as pointing an accusing finger at the sun. A stick is fit for mad dog. Patience has its limit."
