The mission of the Communist Party of Chile in Cuba noted in its statement:

We vehemently denounce as an immoral act the Japanese police authorities' search for the houses of the chairman and a vice-chairman of the Central Standing Committee of Chongryon who are deputies to the Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK and leading officials of its legitimate overseas citizens' organization.

This is undoubtedly an insult to the sovereignty of the DPRK and human rights abuse against Koreans in Japan.

The Italy-DPRK Association for Friendship and Solidarity noted:

Japan perpetrated a shameful act of mercilessly trampling down even elementary human rights, taking advantage of the U.S. imperialists' hostile policy toward the DPRK. This is an open hostile action against the DPRK and Chongryon.

Protesting against the Japanese reactionaries' unjust search for the houses of Chongryon officials which will only deteriorate the DPRK-Japan relations, we fully support Chongryon and Koreans in Japan.

The Slovenia-Korea Friendship Association denounced the Japanese police authorities' suppression of Chongryon and urged the Japanese regime to respect the rights of Koreans in Japan including their right to existence.
