As already reported, agents and human traffic traders of the IS were arrested by security personnel of China while abducting several inhabitants of the DPRK to forcibly take them to south Korea.

The south Korean regime is now impudently making much fuss, putting a "diplomatic pressure" on a country concerned and urging it to "provide the status of refugees" to them. This is just like a thief crying "Stop the thief!"

Even the U.S. State Department made such ridiculous remarks as claiming that those inhabitants should not be sent back to the north.

This is sheer sophism of a brazen-faced gangster.

This case is an unpardonable and unethical criminal act as it is another organized and deliberate abduction of inhabitants of the DPRK.

It is well known to the world that such official institutions as the IS, a center for hatching plots against the DPRK, lured and abducted inhabitants of the DPRK to take them to south Korea for using them for anti-DPRK smear campaigns by infiltrating plot-breeding organizations under the guise of "religion", "human rights", etc. and brokers blinded with money-making into a third country.

Dozens of inhabitants of the DPRK succeeded in returning home, cursing the hell-like south Korea to where they had been forcibly taken after being abducted by puppet forces. Truth about their abduction operations and the south Korean regime's detention of those inhabitants from the north wishing to go back there have been brought to daylight.

It had already been disclosed that south Korean agents' attempt to take away nine youngsters to south Korea via a Southeastern Asian country after abducting them in a northern border area of the DPRK broke down.

This indicates that the south Korean regime is indiscriminately luring and abducting inhabitants of the DPRK whether they are adults or children.

Ceaseless complaints are made by citizens of the DPRK overseas and their children that some of them were lured and abducted by south Korean agents and that they received threatening phone calls from unidentified persons who hold them in hostage.

The recent case is part of the above-said operations, clear evidence proving the hideous luring and abducting operations of the puppet regime.

After their agents were caught red-handed, the puppet regime is busy describing those inhabitants as "defectors from the north" or "refugees" in a bid to cover up their unethical acts. But this only brings into bolder relief its despicable true colors as man-hunters.

The world knows no such villains who, blinded with confrontation with fellow countrymen, are conducting luring and abducting operations in broad daylight in wanton infringement upon the sovereignty of the other country and international law as the south Korean regime.

The above-said crimes of the south Korean regime deserve bitter condemnation and such gangsterism should not be allowed under any circumstances.

The DPRK calls upon the countries concerned to firmly reject and censure the hostile acts of the U.S. and the south Korean regime against the DPRK and urges them to send back its inhabitants as early as possible as required by international law.

Under the present grave situation where the IS and those in league with it carry on their operations to lure and abduct inhabitants of the DPRK and their children and make threatening phone calls taking them as hostages the DPRK will severely punish all those involved in such operations by employing every means and method as already declared.
