Minju Joson in a bylined commentary observes in this regard on Thursday:

This human rights abuses against DPRK citizens amount to a total denial of its dignity and social system and an open challenge to it.

Such actions are a product of plots to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK.

What matters is that such actions as luring and abducting citizens of the DPRK are being carried out at Chongwadae's instructions in an organized way.

As media put, Park Geun Hye, expressing regret over the failed operation for luring and abducting young people of the DPRK, personally instructed those concerned with the matter to use the south Korean embassy for holding DPRK citizens. She also checked the whole process from the beginning to the last in a "crisis management room" in the underground air raid shelter of Chongwadae.

The south Korean present ruling quarters are following in the footsteps of the Lee Myung Bak regime which came under bitter fire by the nation for its act of escalating confrontation with the DPRK during its tenure.

The present regime should stop at once such actions of luring and abducting citizens of the DPRK.
