The human rights racket being staged by the south Korean conservative forces hell-bent on confrontation with compatriots in the north is a blatant challenge to the DPRK highly dignified with independence, an unpardonable insult to the Korean people enjoying all blessings under the most advantageous socialist system and impudent deception and mockery of the fair-minded world public, the report said, adding:

The present chief executive of south Korea, even before coming to power, had kicked off an anti-DPRK human rights racket aimed at cooking up the non-existent "human rights issue" of the DPRK, claiming "it is a sin to keep mum about the human rights in the north."

After taking office, she set it as an "important task for enforcing her north policy" to settle the issue of "human rights in the north" and singled out it as a core task of the "the second principal plan for the development of south-north relations" which clarified the goal and main orientation of her "north policy" to be enforced during the 5 year-long tenure of her office.

At "state council meetings", meetings of chief secretaries of Chongwadae, the "ceremony for marking Aug. 15", UN General Assembly sessions, etc. she took the lead in the human rights racket. There she pulled up the DPRK over its human rights performance, "expressing serious concern over starvation and tragic human rights situation."

The Ministry of Unification, the Intelligence Service, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the "human rights commission" and other south Korean institutions have been hell-bent on anti-DPRK human rights racket, setting the "human rights issue of the north " as an important annual task of their policy. They asserted "they should feel guilty about their past negligence in dealing with the human rights issue of the north", crying out for "making indefatigable efforts to settle the issue."

The south Korean authorities, in a bid to make their anti-DPRK human rights racket sound plausible, let die-hard "defectors from the north" make false testimonies in a bid to forge the "human rights issue of the north."

As many people became skeptical about testimonies made by human scum, they produced even videos showing interrogations made inside "north's concentration camp of political offenders" for distribution.

The ultra-right conservative media of south Korea, at the instigation of the authorities, are becoming zealous in hyping the "human rights issue of the north" by giving wide publicity to the false testimonies made by bribed betes noires.

Those of the "Saenuri Party" are getting frantic in their moves to ram the 10-year old "bill on human rights in the north" through the "National Assembly" at any cost.

The south Korean conservative forces are running the whole gamut of gimmicks to build a world public opinion about the "human rights issue in the north" and realize the international cooperation in the campaign to stifle the DPRK.

During her trips to 22 countries and her participation in 14 international meetings after taking office, the present chief executive didn't forget to mention the "human rights issue in the north " and let loose a whole string of jargons about "universally accepted value," "concern of the international community", "cooperation" and the like in a bid to garner the cooperation of the international community in the anti-DPRK human rights racket.

The south Korean authorities, in collusion with the U.S., are getting frantic in their anti-DPRK human rights racket at the UN to internationalize the "human rights issue" of the DPRK.

Last year the conservative forces in south Korea worked with bloodshot eyes to set up "a commission of inquiry into human rights in the north" in collusion with the U.S.

The south Korean authorities allowed the UN office on "human rights in the north" to be set up in south Korea, a thrice-cursed act of treachery.

They have been desperate in their human rights racket to impair the dignity of the DPRK and tarnish its image by letting human scum to tell all sorts of lies in foreign countries.

While trumpeting about the non-existent "human rights issue in the north", they are working hard to prevent south Koreans from knowing about the true human rights performance in the DPRK where the dignity and rights of the people are guaranteed at the highest level.

In the first year of the present regime in south Korea 497 websites of various forms were closed or disconnected after being branded as the ones "following the north" and "benefiting enemy." This was 23 percent more than those in the previous year. Those numbered at least 1 000 last year.

The south authorities are suppressing south Koreans by invoking the draconian "Security Law" in a bid to quell their voices admiring and praising the DPRK where the popular masses are enjoying a happy life and their ideals are coming true.

They forcibly dissolved the Unified Progressive Party, a legitimate party, on charges that it opposed their racket of "human rights issue in the north" and their racket of confrontation with compatriots in the north and took the lead in the struggle for reconciliation and reunification through alliance with the north, social independence and democratization. Not content with this, they hurled prosecution and other forces into harshly suppressing 100 000 odd members of the party, threatening to indict all of them for "praising and encouraging the north."

Even foreigners were of no exception in becoming targets of harsh suppression.

The south Korean authorities are branding anyone as a "follower" of the north if he or she tries to know about the reality in the north and talks about it, being suspicious of the "issue of human rights in the north" cooked up by them.

They will have to pay dearly for their treacherous act of taking the lead in the anti-DPRK "human rights" racket.
