Stop to Suppression of Chongryon Demanded by Guinean Organization
Pyongyang, March 2 (KCNA) -- The Guinea-Korea Friendship Association issued a statement on Feb. 24, demanding the Japanese government stop vicious anti-DPRK moves and crackdown upon the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon).

The statement said:

The Guinea-Korea Friendship Association denounces the moves of the Japanese reactionaries who are becoming undisguised in their suppression of Chongryon and Koreans in Japan while floating a rumor about "threat from north Korea".

The Japanese government's vicious moves against the DPRK and politically-motivated suppression of Chongryon and human rights abuses against Koreans in Japan are, indeed, crimes.

Koreans in Japan are descendents of Koreans who were forced to do slave labor in Japan during its colonial rule over Korea.

Therefore, the Japanese government is morally obliged to respect their human rights.

This being a hard fact, the Japanese reactionaries are suppressing Chongryon, a legitimate overseas compatriots organization of the DPRK, and Koreans in Japan and infringing upon their human rights. Their acts should be censured by the world.
