The security authorities searched an office of the committee by taking issue with a lecture of Sin Un Mi, a Korean in the U.S., and Hwang Son, representative of the Forum for the Study of Politics Desired, the committee recalled, adding it is a wrong step based on a wrong ground.

The illegal search is a revelation of the attempt to find fault with the committee at any cost, it said.

It urged the present regime to stop the "witch-hunting for eliminating the followers of the north", apologize for the unreasonable search and punish those involved in it.
