Minju Joson Friday says in a commentary in this regard:

This is another unpardonable, grave politically- motivated provocation against the DPRK and Chongryon as it was illegal gangsterism.

The recent forcible search was politically-motivated grave terrorism to infringe upon the sovereignty of the DPRK, harshly suppress the officials of Chongryon and Koreans in Japan and stifle Chongryon at any cost.

It is the well-known fact that the Japanese reactionaries slapped unreasonable independent sanctions against the DPRK under the pretext of the launch of earth observation satellite, an exercise of a legitimate and independent right of a sovereign state. The recent search operations are, in essence, part of the anti-DPRK, anti-Chongryon sanctions by the Japanese reactionaries. They are despicable and inhumane violation of human rights to suppress Chongryon and Koreans in Japan by creating uneasiness and fear in the Korean community and inciting hostility toward the DPRK and Chongryon among the Japanese people. At the same time, it is the revelation of the black-hearted scenario to realize the ambition for reinvading the DPRK at any cost by driving the DPRK-Japan relations to catastrophe and tightening the military nexus with the U.S. and south Korean puppet group.

The Japanese reactionaries should clearly understand that nothing can infringe upon the sovereignty of the DPRK and stamp out Chongryon.

A saying goes every sin brings its punishment with it. If the Japanese reactionaries persistently resort to suppression of Chongryon, they will be wholly responsible for the ensuing serious consequences.
