Minju Joson Friday in a commentary terms this a deliberate politically-motivated provocation against the DPRK to malignantly slander its dignity and social system and push the north-south relations into the worst catastrophe under the pretext of "human rights".

It goes on:

The smear campaign clearly proves that the conservative group's confrontation racket against the nation's reconciliation and unity and the improvement of the inter-Korean relations has reached an extremely dangerous phase.

The puppet regime turned south Korea into the world's biggest graveyard of human rights, and dares slander the DPRK, the cradle of happiness where the true life of the people is brought into full bloom, while raising a hue and cry over the "human rights". This has lashed the Koreans into a great fury.

The puppet forces' sinister intention is to imbue the south Korean people with the awareness of extreme confrontation with compatriots and quell the public sentiment aspiring after peace and reunification. They are working hard to divert elsewhere the people's criticism of them who tarnished the hard-won atmosphere of dialogue which was created by the DPRK's initiative steps and sincere efforts and, furthermore, do harm to the DPRK in collusion with outsiders.

The puppet forces are sadly mistaken, however.

They can never get the sun eclipsed by palms. No one will believe in the lies spread by human scum. This will only entail serious consequences of precipitating their doom. They should mind this and stop the acts of precipitating their own ruin.
