Rodong Sinmun Wednesday comes out with an article blasting these crimes.

These are unpardonable reckless acts against reunification and for confrontation as they are pushing the bedeviled inter-Korean relations to a more catastrophic phase, the article says and goes on:

With no rhetoric can the south Korean regime justify this campaign being staged to do harm to the social system of the dignified DPRK.

Luring and abducting people is branded as the gravest crime against humanity worldwide and this should be strictly banned in human society.

Yet, the regime is unhesitatingly perpetrating these hideous crimes under the signboard of "human rights". Its ulterior aim is to massively release misinformation hurling mud at the DPRK in a bid to make it sound plausible and build up public opinion on it. Its final goal is to destabilize the socialist system standing undeterred by any stern ordeal of history and realize its long-pursued scenario to invade the north.

This smear campaign of the regime would get it nowhere.

The more desperately the south Korean ruling forces persist in these operations, the more saliently they will reveal their unethical and treacherous nature.

The south Korean authorities had better behave themselves, cogitating about the serious consequences to be entailed by their smear campaign.
