The judicial authorities harshly suppressed him for the fifth time for remaining true to his faith and conscience.

Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a commentary brands this action as a hideous human rights abuse as it mercilessly trampled down the freedom of thought and the right to conscience and a clear revelation of hostility towards the DPRK.

It goes on:

With nothing can the puppet group conceal the true colors of south Korea as the world's worst fascist dictatorial society and tundra of human rights as it brutally suppresses the people aspiring after new politics and society.

The south Korean authorities are going mad with cracking down on the progressive forces by invoking fascist laws quite contrary to the people's wishes for improved inter-Korean relations and the reconciliation of the nation. This is an unpardonable action against reunification.

If anti-reunification and fascist actions are allowed to go on in south Korea as now contrary to the trend of the times and the desire of the compatriots, this will further becloud the prospect of mending the stalled inter-Korean relations.

With no fascist crackdown can the south Korean authorities stem the trend of the people's wishes for justice and truth.

The south Korean puppet forces' crackdown upon the people's movement for the country's reunification can never escape all Korean's curse and denunciation.
